Fertil Steril. 2018 Oct;110(5):e1-e3. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2018.07.009.

Abstract

Although there is currently no definitive evidence linking West Nile virus (WNV) transmission with reproductive cells, it is recommended that practitioners defer gamete donors who have confirmed or suspected WNV infections. This document replaces the previously published document of the same name, last published in 2016 (Fertil Steril 2016;105:e9-10).
