The subgenus Pseudoharpirhynchus syn. nov. is synonymized with the genus Harpyrhynchoides. Diagnoses for the subfamily and all genera recorded in the New Word (Anharpyrhynchus Fain, 1972, Crassacarus gen. nov., Harpirhynchus, Harpyrhynchoides Fain, 1972, Fainharpirhynchus Bochkov and Galloway, 2013, Neharpyrhynchus Fain, 1972, Perharpyrhynchus Fain, 1972, Trichorhynchiella Fain, 1995) are provided. Keys to all harpirhynchine genera and all their species occurring in the New World are also given. A list of all harpirhynchine species and their hosts is compiled.

Childhood Asthma Incidence, Early and Persistent Wheeze, and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Factors in the ECHO/CREW Consortium.
JAMA Pediatr
August 2022
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: In the United States, Black and Hispanic children have higher rates of asthma and asthma-related morbidity compared with White children and disproportionately reside in communities with economic deprivation.
Objective: To determine the extent to which neighborhood-level socioeconomic indicators explain racial and ethnic disparities in childhood wheezing and asthma.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The study population comprised children in birth cohorts located throughout the United States that are part of the Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup consortium.

Background: African ancestry is associated with a higher prevalence and greater severity of asthma than European ancestries, yet genetic studies of the most common locus associated with childhood-onset asthma, 17q12-21, in African Americans have been inconclusive. The aim of this study was to leverage both the phenotyping of the Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup (CREW) birth cohort consortium, and the reduced linkage disequilibrium in African Americans, to fine map the 17q12-21 locus.
Methods: We first did a genetic association study and meta-analysis using 17q12-21 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for childhood-onset asthma in 1613 European American and 870 African American children from the CREW consortium.

Rationale: Characterization of patterns of wheezing and allergic sensitization in early life may allow for identification of specific environmental exposures impacting asthma development.
Objectives: To define respiratory phenotypes in inner-city children and their associations with early-life environmental exposures.
Methods: Data were collected prospectively from 442 children in the URECA (Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma) birth cohort through age 7 years, reflecting symptoms (wheezing), aeroallergen sensitization, pulmonary function, and body mass index.
