Sex After a Field Trip Yields Scientific First

摘要

A U.S. vector biologist appears to have accidentally written virological history simply by having sex with his wife after returning from a field trip to Senegal. Brian Foy of Colorado State University in Fort Collins and graduate student Kevin Kobylinski got bitten mercilessly while collecting mosquitoes in Senegal for their malaria research. About 5 days after returning home on 24 August 2008, both researchers developed a rash, fatigue, swollen and painful joints, and other unpleasant symptoms. Days later, Foy's wife, Joy Chilson Foy, fell ill as well.
