Breast Milk's secret role in virus transmission revealed?
NCT ID NCT06738563
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how breast milk influences viruses like HTLV-1, Zika, and dengue. Researchers will mix milk samples with these viruses in the lab to see if the milk changes how well the viruses infect cells. The goal is to understand if breastfeeding can spread or block these viruses. 75 healthy breast milk donors in France are taking part.
