Elimination of Legionella colonization in a hospital water system: evidence from 23 years of chlorine dioxide use

Natalie G. Exum, Lindsay N. Avolio, Gregory Bova, Clare Rock et autres

Abstract A hospital water system colonized with Legionella bacteria (three of four buildings, with > 50% of positive samples) was able to reduce detections to <1% positivity in the long term only after ClO2 was iteratively added first to the cold-water and …

Exploring Natural Immune Responses to Shigella Exposure Using Multiplex Bead Assays on Dried Blood Spots in High-Burden Countries: Protocol From a Multisite Diarrhea Surveillance Study

Prisca Benedicto-Matambo, Lindsay N. Avolio, Henry Badji, Rabab Batool et autres

Abstract Background Molecular diagnostics on human fecal samples have identified a larger burden of shigellosis than previously appreciated by culture. Evidence of fold changes in immunoglobulin G (IgG) to conserved and type-specific Shigella antigens could be used to validate the molecular assignment …

Anthropometric measures and arsenic methylation among pregnant women in rural northern Bangladesh

Tyler J. S. Smith, Ana Navas‐Acién, Sarah Baker, Caryn Kok et autres

INTRODUCTION: Arsenic methylation converts inorganic arsenic (iAs) to monomethyl (MMA) and dimethyl (DMA) arsenic compounds. Body mass index (BMI) has been positively associated with arsenic methylation efficiency (higher DMA%) in adults, but evidence in pregnancy is inconsistent. We estimated associations between anthropometric …

The Pregnancy, Arsenic, and Immune Response (PAIR) Study in rural northern Bangladesh

Lindsay N. Avolio, Tyler J. S. Smith, Ana Navas‐Acién, Kate L. Kruczynski et autres

BACKGROUND: Arsenic exposure and micronutrient deficiencies may alter immune reactivity to influenza vaccination in pregnant women, transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies to the foetus, and maternal and infant acute morbidity. OBJECTIVES: The Pregnancy, Arsenic, and Immune Response (PAIR) Study was designed to …

Climate Change Impacts on Microbiota in Beach Sand and Water: Looking Ahead

João C. Brandão, Chelsea J. Weiskerger, Elisabete Valério, Tarja Pitkänen et autres

Beach sand and water have both shown relevance for human health and their microbiology have been the subjects of study for decades. Recently, the World Health Organization recommended that recreational beach sands be added to the matrices monitored for enterococci and Fungi. …

Arsenic Methylation and Body Composition among Pregnant Women in Rural Northern Bangladesh: The Pregnancy, Arsenic, and Immune Response (PAIR) Study

Tyler J. S. Smith, Lindsay N. Avolio, Ana Navas Acien, Walter Goessler et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Arsenic methylation—the conversion of inorganic arsenic (iAs) to less toxic monomethyl (MMA) and dimethyl (DMA) species—could modify the developmental and reproductive toxicity of this metalloid. However, variability in arsenic methylation among pregnant women remains poorly understood. Arsenic methylation efficiency—the …

Use of weekly mobile phone call-unit to screen pregnant women and their newborns for acute respiratory and gastrointestinal illness symptoms in rural Bangladesh

Lindsay N. Avolio, Nora Pisanic, Ana Navas‐Acién, Kelsey Alland et autres

Background/Aims Acute respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses are major contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in vulnerable populations of pregnant women and infants. It is critical to understand the burden of these illnesses in low-resource settings where infectious, nutritional, and immunotoxicological risk …

Arsenic and Immune Response to Influenza Vaccination in Pregnant Women and Newborns

Christopher D. Heaney, Tanja Smith, Hasmot Ali, Kelsey Alland et autres

Background/AimsThere is a gap in understanding of whether arsenic exposure during pregnancy alters the maternal immune response and antibody transfer to the infant. We aimed to establish a birth cohort in a region with low-moderate drinking water arsenic concentrations to investigate the …
