俄亥俄州立大学研究人员的一项研究表明戊型肝炎病毒 (HEV) 和男性不育之间可能存在联系，并且可能通过性传播。 A study by researchers at The Ohio State University suggests a possible link between hepatitis E virus (HEV) and male infertility, as well as potentially sexually transmitted nature. 该病毒是在猪的精子细胞中发现的，能够感染培养中的人类肝细胞并进行繁殖。 The virus was discovered in sperm cells of pigs, capable of infecting human liver cells in culture and reproducing. 如果病毒能够在精子中复制或改变精子结构，则可能会影响孕妇的筛查测试和养猪业。 If the virus can replicate in sperm or alter sperm structure, it may impact screening tests for pregnant women and the swine industry.
