Research on hamsters, such as rats, has shown that the corona virus, which causes the global epidemic of covid 19, can affect the male reproductive system and cause male infertility.
It should be noted that "hamsters" are considered to be the "most similar" animals to humans, and often any medical research is first tested on them (or other animals like them) with positive results. Experiments are initiated.
Hamsters have also been shown to be very useful in the case of Covid 19 because the same symptoms that developed during the research were later seen in humans.
So far, there have been a number of male patients recovering from Covid 19 in various hospitals and medical centers who complained of pain at the site of their testes or the production of a specific male hormone, testosterone. It was almost closed.
In addition, autopsies of men who died of the corona virus also revealed that their bodies were infected on a cellular scale.
The latest research on hamsters has been conducted at the University of Texas, USA, the results of which have been published online in the latest issue of the research journal "Microorganisms".
In the first week after hamsters became infected with the novel Corona virus (SARS cocoa 2), the virus was seen in their feet, but it gradually disappeared.
This research has shown that while the corona virus affects the lungs and other respiratory systems as well as the respiratory system, it also has the potential to reach the human body, but we still know a lot about it. no.
"How does the corona virus affect the male reproductive system?" This discovery is the first step in that direction, but the whole picture is yet to come, "said Dr. Rafael Kron Campos, who is also the lead author of this research paper.
