We report the detection and gene coding sequences of three novel Orbivirus species found in six dead farmed white-tailed deer in the United States. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that the new orbiviruses are genetically closely related to the Guangxi, Mobuck, Peruvian horse sickness, and Yunnan orbi...

Microcredit has shown mixed results when used to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV). This study explored microcredit and IPV in Bangladesh by conducting 12 focus groups with married men and women. Participants described challenges to microcredit participation highlighting "missed opportunities" ...

INTRODUCTION: Optimising the micronutrient status of women before and during reproduction confers benefits to them and their offspring. Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS), given as a daily tablet with nutrients at ~1 recommended dietary allowance (RDA) or adequate intake (AI) reduces...

Background/Objectives: Zinc deficiency remains a public health concern in South Asia but is rarely studied through gestation to infancy. Methods: We identified maternal and infant factors related to plasma zinc of 3 mo old Bangladeshi infants (n = 317) in the context of a trial of a daily antenatal ...

Background: Comprehensive documentation of micronutrient biomarker assessments, capturing status from deficiency to excess, remains limited, specifically in the context of multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) trials. Objectives: We document biomarker selection, preanalytical and analytical m...

Objectives: Zinc is an essential trace element that serves as a cofactor for many metalloenzymes. Zinc deficiency is prevalent in South Asia, contributing to adverse maternal, birth, and offspring outcomes. We measured plasma zinc of 3-month-old infants in rural Bangladesh at the conclusion of a tri...
