Editorial

Chan et al. concluded that“inflammation of various
tissues, especially orchitis, may be potential complications
of Zika virus infection with significant implications on
disease transmission and male fertility[5].” Ma et al.

Nevertheless, these observations might not directly imply that there will be the problem in human. A long term follow-up of human cases for the problem is required [7].
