Fruit of almond cultivar Mission were aerosol-spray inoculated with aqueous suspensions containing 10, 10, or 10 conidia/ml of Wilsonomyces carpophilus beginning when fruit emerged from the hypanthium and continuing at approximately weekly intervals until they reached full size and embryo development had begun. There was a linear increase in percent fruit abscission (P = 0.001) and average number lesions per fruit (P = 0.007) with increasing inoculum concentration. Percent fruit abscission decreased with increasing fruit length (maturity) at inoculation (P = 0.001). Lesions were most abundant when mid-size fruit were inoculated. The kernel quality of infected and healthy fruit of cultivar Carmel were compared in 1994 and 1995. Mid- to full-size fruit were inoculated one or three times with 10 conidia/ml of W. carpophilus. Kernels from inoculated fruit were shorter than those from uninoculated fruit (P = 0.007), but kernel weight did not differ. Fewer than 2.5% of kernels in 1994 and none in 1995 were covered with gum deposits or incompletely filled.

The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the dietary intake of children and adolescents living with HIV and its association with cardiovascular risk factors. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, BIREME and LILACS were searched for original observational studies. The studies were extracted between June and August 2021, in addition to a manual search of references.

Background: The growing dollar store sector has raised concerns about nutrition and associated health outcomes, especially for low-income communities who disproportionately rely on dollar stores. Perspectives of dollar store shoppers are largely absent.
Objective: This study aimed to understand why low-income shoppers choose to purchase food from dollar stores and what store changes, policies, and programs would make it easier for them to purchase healthier items.

We provide the first estimates of survival and reproductive rates for a population of the Gambian Epauletted Fruit Bat in Ghana. We focused on a large colony of ca. 5,000 bats over 3 years to estimate population parameters including population size, birth rates, survival, and sex ratios for this species.

Micronutrient deficiencies, undernutrition, and overweight/obesity are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nutrient profiling models (NPMs), initially developed to help reduce the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases in Western countries, could be one solution to promote nutrient-dense foods in LMICs. This study reviewed government-endorsed NPMs implemented in LMICs and assessed their key components in relation to country-specific nutritional challenges.
