Alarm of Circulating Wild Poliovirus and Of Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus in Middle East Countries as a Potential Risk for Re-Emerging of Polio in Iran
Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease which is mainly transmitted via contaminated food and drinking water by human feces, especially in situations of poor hygiene and sanitation (1). This disease is caused by 3 types of wild poliovirus (WPV) (types 1, 2 and 3), and immunity against one type does not create immunity against other types. In our country according National Immuni...
متن کاملIntroduction of inactivated poliovirus vaccine into oral poliovirus vaccine-using countries.
Given the progress already made towards the goal of global eradication of poliomyelitis LE (polio), the risk of paralytic poliomyelitis is changing in many geographical areas. Vaccination against polio will need to continue because of the threat of wild poliovirus importation. However, an increasing number of polio-free countries are determining that the risk of paralytic poliomyelitis associat...

متن کاملSabin Vaccine Reversion in the Field: a Comprehensive Analysis of Sabin-Like Poliovirus Isolates in Nigeria.
UNLABELLED To assess the dynamics of genetic reversion of live poliovirus vaccine in humans, we studied molecular evolution in Sabin-like poliovirus isolates from Nigerian acute flaccid paralysis cases obtained from routine surveillance. We employed a novel modeling approach to infer substitution and recombination rates from whole-genome sequences and information about poliovirus infection dyna...
