“… Silva-Frade et al . (2010) localized bovine herpesvirus type 5 (BoHV-5) and Queiroz-Castro et al . (2019) identified Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) within bovine oocytes demonstrating that the ZP was an ineffective barrier against such viral infections.…”

“…As there is no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection of oocytes and embryos, studies reporting the ability of other viruses to permeate the zona pellucida should be taken into consideration. Silva-Frade and colleagues (Silva-Frade et al, 2010) localized bovine herpesvirus type 5, and Queiroz-Castro and colleagues (Queiroz-Castro et al, 2019) identified bovine herpesvirus 1, within bovine oocytes, demonstrating that the zona pellucida was an ineffective barrier against such viral infections. During certain ART procedures, the continuity of the zona pellucida could be accidentally or intentionally breached (intracytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo biopsy, assisted hatching), representing an additional concern considering that human preimplantation embryos highly express ACE2, which is required by SARS-CoV-2 for cell entry (Yan et al, 2013).…”

Reopening fertility care services across the world in the midst of a pandemic brings with it numerous concerns that need immediate addressal, such as the impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on the male and female reproductive cells and the plausible risk of cross-contamination and transmission. There exists little literature on confirmatory reports of the association of SARS-CoV-2 with reproductive tissues, gametes, and embryos due to the novelty of the disease. Cryobanking, an essential service in fertility preservation, carries the risk of cross-contamination through cryogenic medium and thus calls for risk-mitigation strategies. This review aims to address the available literature on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on tissues, gametes, and embryos with a special reference to the possible sources of cross-contamination through liquid nitrogen. Strategies for risk-mitigation have been extrapolated from reports dealing with other viruses to the current global crisis, for safety in fertility treatment services in general and oncofertility in specific.
