EIDB is collaborating on an observational prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the persistence of Zika virus in bodily fluids of volunteers diagnosed with the filovirus and relate persistence to a variety of host and environmental factors.
The project is a collaboration between the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization, the Wellcome Trust and EIDB. This study aims to increase understanding of how long virus may be shed via bodily fluids, informing best measures to prevent the transmission of the virus.
