Investigation of Circulating Vaccine Derived Poliovirus Type 2 Outbreak, Sierra Leone, December 2020: Lessons from the First Three Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Circulating Vaccine Derived Poliovirus (cVDPV), is a genetic mutation of the Sabin virus. Sierra Leone reported its last case wild polio virus in 2010. However, December 2020, national disease surveillance program was notified three people with acute flaccid paralysis who had cVDPV2. We investigated to identify source, determine magnitude outbreak and risk factors.

From August 2011 to February 2012, an outbreak caused by type 2 circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) occurred in Aba County, Sichuan, China. During the outbreak, four type 2 VDPVs (≥0.6% nucleotide divergence in the VP1 region relative to the Sabin 2 strain) were isolated from 3 patients with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and one close contact. In addition, a type 2 pre-VDPV (0.3% to ...
متن کاملManaging the risk of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus during the endgame: oral poliovirus vaccine needs
BACKGROUND The Global Polio Eradication Initiative plans for coordinated cessation of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use, beginning with serotype 2-containing OPV (i.e., OPV2 cessation) followed by the remaining two OPV serotypes (i.e., OPV13 cessation). The risk of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) outbreaks after OPV cessation of any serotype depends on the serotype-specific popul...
