All pregnant women in the U.S.should be assessed for possibleZika exposure at every prenatalvisit, the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention warns.

The advice came Monday asfederal health o�cials also urgedwomen who are pregnant or areconsidering becoming pregnantto avoid a Miami neighborhoodthat is the site of a Zika outbreak.

Zika can cause catastrophic

birth defects in developing fetus-es, including microcephaly, whichresults in an abnormally smallskull and, in most cases, incom-plete brain development.

The CDC has warned pregnantwomen since January to avoidareas with Zika outbreaks. Warn-ings had been limited to foreigncountries and U.S. territories.Now, the CDC is telling pregnantwomen to avoid the Wynwoodneighborhood in Miami, where 14people have been infected withZika. Such a move seems unprec-edented in CDC history.

Florida also confirmed Mon-

day 10 more homegrown cases ofZika in people infected by localmosquitoes. CDC o�cials saidwomen who have visited Wyn-wood, a community known forsplashy murals, street artists andtrendy stores, since June 15should avoid getting pregnant forat least eight weeks.

CDC o�cials said this is thefirst time the federal health agen-cy has warned people to avoid anarea in the continental U.S., agen-cy spokesman Tom Skinner said.

At Florida’s request, the CDC issending an emergency team of sixmore sta� members to the state

to help two already there.Controlling the cluster of Zika

cases is proving di�cult, CDC Di-rector Tom Frieden said. “Wedon’t have ideal ways to controlthe mosquitoes that control Zi-ka,” he said. “In Miami, aggressivemosquito-control measures don’tseem to be working as well as wewould have liked.”

The Miami cases are a majordevelopment because — with theexception of one lab-related case— all infections in the U.S. untilnow had been diagnosed in peo-ple who traveled abroad or thosewho had sex with such a traveler.

After a year of attacks thattargeted ex-prisoner-of-warJohn McCain, various Republi-can primary opponents and afederal judge’s “Mexican heri-tage,” Donald Trump may facehis biggest uproar yet over thedenigration of the Muslim par-ents of a slain U.S. soldier.

Numerous Republicans, in-cluding McCain, and militarygroups criticized Trump forwhat they called the disrespectshown Khizr and GhazalaKhan, the parents of a U.S. sol-dier killed in Iraq who havecriticized the real estate mogulfor “smears” of Muslims.

McCain, an Arizona senatorand the 2008 GOP presidentialnominee, said the party’s noddoes not come with “unfet-tered license to defame thosewho are the best among us.”

Brian Du�y, national com-mander of the Veterans of For-eign Wars, a group that warmlywelcomed Trump to its con-vention last week, said, “Elec-tion year or not, the VFW willnot tolerate anyone berating aGold Star family member forexercising his or her right ofspeech or expression.”

Trump maintained his feudwith Khizr Khan on Monday,accusing him of unfair attacksduring last week’s Democraticconvention and in a string ofsubsequent interviews. “Mr.Khan, who does not know me,viciously attacked me from thestage of the DNC and is now allover T.V. doing the same —Nice!” Trump tweeted.

Trump did not address thecontroversy during a campaignevent Monday in Columbus,Ohio. Phyllis Matlack, 64, ofGreenfield, Ohio, who attendedthe event, suggested the deci-sion not to bring it up was asign Trump is listening to goodadvice. “I think he needs to justput it to rest. Enough has beensaid. You’re just digging up stu�

and making it worse,” shesaid. “I feel if he surrounds

himself with the right peo-ple, he will be fine.”

Khan said Mondaythat the New York busi-nessman is “ignorant” of

free speech and the U.S.Constitution.

Sans rules, intersexathletes in spotlight Human rights, athletic fairness at issue as expertsdebate the e�ects of hormones on performanceScott Gleesonand Erik BradyUSA TODAY Sports

South Afri-ca’s CasterSemenya hasbeen sub-jected toinvasive andembarrass-ing gendertests becauseof her mus-cular buildand blazingspeed.

Caster Semenya is a SouthAfrican runner who couldemerge as one of the mostcompelling figures of the RioOlympic Games. She is favoredto win gold at 800 meterswhile perhaps breaking track’slongest-standing world record,even as her stunning speed isleading to uncomfortable con-troversy at the uncertain inter-section of gender and athletics— and of human rights andathletic fairness.

Semenya has never said sheis intersex — a word preferredto the stigmatizing hermaph-rodite — but speculation fol-lows her around the globe, herprivate parts a mortifyingmatter of public de-bate. (Intersex is anumbrella term forpeople who are

born with sex characteristics“that do not fit typical binarynotions of male or female bod-ies,” according to a definitionby the human rights arm of theUnited Nations.)

Track observers believe Se-menya is hyperandrogenous,meaning her body naturallyproduces high amounts of tes-tosterone, the hormone thathelps build muscle, enduranceand speed. The InternationalAssociation of Athletics Feder-ation (IAAF), track and field’sgoverning body, has rules lim-iting the amount of naturally
