The Drosophila Ejaculatory duct (ED) is a secretory tissue of the somatic male reproductive system. The ED is involved in the secretion of seminal fluid components and ED-specific antimicrobial peptides that aid in fertility and the female post-mating response. The ED is composed of secretory epithelial cells surrounded by a layer of innervated contractile muscle.

Objectives: Semen analysis investigates different parameters of human semen with a high relevance in fertility workup, confirmation of sterility by post vasectomy, in pathologies follow-up such as varicocele and in all cases where sperm preservation is required. Manually seminal fluid examination is characterized by poor reproducibility. Aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of an automatic device in semen analysis by comparing its results with those obtained with the manual microscopy.

Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) in insect males are critical for reproduction, being transported into female ovary. In Nilaparvata lugens, a significant rice pest, seven spermary-specific carboxylesterases (CarEs) were found abundantly in SFPs, with over-expression in males of an imidacloprid-resistant (RES) strain compared to a susceptible (SUS) strain. This study aimed to evaluate roles of spermary-specific CarEs in N.

Purpose: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic, affects multiple organs, including the male reproductive system. While viral infections can harm male fertility through cytokine storms, the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on fertility are still unclear. Thus, this study aimed to examine the persistence of viral RNA and inflammatory responses in semen following SARS-CoV-2 infection and the safety of conventional freezing and vitrification techniques.

Background: species are widely distributed in nature and found in various human body sites.
Objectives: To determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of species isolated from different clinical samples.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 clinical specimens from conveniently sampled patients seeking healthcare at two health facilities in sulaimani / Iraq.
