Impact of Breast Milk on the Infectivity and Transmission of Different Viruses "BREASTMILKVIR"
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Collection breast milk: Collection of a milk sample taken as part of women's donation
Study summary
Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding for at least 24 months constitute the optimal feeding method for infants and young children.
However, breast milk and breastfeeding can be significant pathways for the transmission of certain viruses.
The objective of this study is to examine the influence of human breast milk and its composition on viral infectivity and viral transmission of the HTLV-1 virus and arboviruses such as Zika virus, yellow fever, dengue, and tick-borne encephalitis.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Study the influence of breast milk and its composition on viral infectivity and oral transmission of HTLV-1 and arboviruses such as Zika virus, yellow fever virus, dengue virus, and tick-borne encephalitis virus. — 36 months
Various viruses will be incubated with milk samples. The influence of milk on the different viruses will be studied. The capacity of these viruses incubated with milk to infect the target cells (immune or epithelial cells, depending on the virus) will be measured (measurement of the number of infected cells).
