Detection of vaccine-derived polioviruses in Mexico using environmental surveillance.
BACKGROUND Early detection and control of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) emergences are essential to secure the gains of polio eradication. METHODS Serial sewage samples were collected in 4 towns of Mexico before, throughout, and after the May 2010 oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) mass immunization campaign. Isolation and molecular analysis of polioviruses from sewage specimens monitored the ...
متن کاملDetection of imported wild polioviruses and of vaccine-derived polioviruses by environmental surveillance in Egypt.
Systematic environmental surveillance for poliovirus circulation has been conducted in Egypt since 2000. The surveillance has revealed three independent importations of wild-type poliovirus. In addition, several vaccine-derived polioviruses have been detected in various locations in Egypt. In addition to acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, environmental surveillance can be used to monit...
متن کاملVaccine-Derived Polioviruses Not Detected by Global Surveillance Screening Assay
To the Editor: The Global Polio Laboratory Network (GPLN) and the World Health Organization’s Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) accord high priority to detecting all vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) because they are neurovirulent and have the potential to cause outbreaks of poliomyelitis and establish poliovirus circulation. In patients with immunodeficiency diseases, persistent infection...
متن کاملGaps in our knowledge about transmission of vaccine-derived polioviruses.
It has long been known that oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) viruses are transmissible ¿to some degree¿ between vaccinated individuals and their contacts. This property has generally been considered an advantage of these vaccines, since it can spread immunity, despite the fact that the viruses sometimes revert to virulence and hence can also cause vaccine-attributable paralytic poliomyelitis in v...
متن کاملReemergence of Recombinant Vaccine–derived Polioviruses in Healthy Children, Madagascar
To the Editor: Poliomyelitis outbreaks caused by pathogenic vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) are primarily a result of low polio vaccine coverage. Low coverage enables interhuman circulation of polioviruses (PVs) from the oral polio vaccine (OPV), and it enables genetic drift of the viruses and their subsequent reversion to neurovirulent phenotypes (1). Polio outbreaks associated with type ...
