The issue will need to be evaluated for exposure bias when testing NCS hypotheses.
Chemicals need to be evaluated for exposure potential, and for adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) and pharmacokinetics properties.
Eight persons (5 evaluated for exposure to Lassa virus, 2 for Machupo virus, and 1 for Junin virus) received immune plasma (prepared from recovered patients in virus-endemic areas); 1 patient potentially exposed to Lassa virus also received intravenous ribavirin.
Descriptive statistics for each dog were evaluated for exposure measures (CAPs mass and number concentration, black carbon concentration) and cardiovascular parameters (systolic, diastolic, mean, and pulse arterial pressure, heart rate, and rate pressure product).
Peach harvest workers were evaluated for exposure to azinphosmethyl residues by measuring foliar residues, urinary alkylphosphate metabolites, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and dermal residues using clothing and skin washes.
A total of 2,121 small mammals, including 2,100 rodents, 20 shrews, and 1 lagomorph, were evaluated for exposure to and infection with A. phagocytophilum and infestation with Ixodes spp. ticks (Table 1).
