La OMS ha publicado una guía sobre Prevención de la transmisión sexual del zika
Escogemos algunos fragmentos de la publicación, aunque todo el documentonos parece de mucho interés,

2.1.1 Summary of publications
As of 26 August 2016 , a total of 17 studies or reports have been published on sexual transmission of Zika virus , including the following:
• Seven s tudies on symptomatic male to female transmission-
• One study on male to male transmission
• One study on female to male transmission
• Two studies on asymptomatic male to female transmission
• Four caase - reports reported by International Health Regulation s National Focal Points
• Two case - reports described through government / news media, In addition, eight studies have been published on the presence of Zika virus in semen.
No citan estudios epidemiológicos sino publicaciones muy específicas de casos, pero pensamos que los datos referentes a la muy superior incidencia en mujeres en edad fértil respecto a los varones de los mismos estratos de edad que mencionamos en relación con datos sobre Colombia y Río de Janeiro son indicativos de una mayor facilidad de contagio de las mujeres por vía sexual que relacionamos con el aporte vírico a través del semen.
