title: Sperm characteristics of infertile and fertile Zairian men at the University Clinic of Mont Amba (Kinshasa).
abstract: The best interpretation of different sperm characteristics of zairian men consulting for infertility results from comparative studies with the sperm characteristics of fecund men. In this study four sperm variables permitted us to distinguish infecund from fecund men: sperm count, total sperm count, morphology and motility at the 24th-26th hour. No differences have been observed about aspect, odor, pH and volume of ejaculate.
