ABSTRACT
We report the longitudinal follow-up of Zika virus (ZIKV) RNA in semen of a traveller who developed ZIKV disease after return to the Netherlands from Barbados, March 2016.

RNA levels were higher in semen than in other sample types and declined to undetectable level at day 62 post onset of symptoms...(AU)
