“…Therefore, we compared pyrimethanil and chlorpyrifos concentrations in air with urinary 4-hydroxypyrimethanil (OHP, metabolite of pyrimethanil) and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy, metabolite of chlorpyrifos) among pregnant women from the Infant’s Environmental Health Study (ISA) in Matina County, Costa Rica. METHODS: During pregnancy, we obtained repeat urinary samples from 448 women enrolled in the ISA study. …”

“…Human papillomavirus (HPV) seroprevalence and determinants of seropositivity were assessed in a 10 049-woman population-based cohort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Serologic responses based on VLP-based ELISA were obtained from the plasma collected at study enrollment in 1993/1994 for HPV-16 (n=9949), HPV-18 (n=9928), HPV-31 (n=9932), and HPV-45 (n=3019). …”
