TL;DR: An outbreak of paralytic poliomyelitis occurred in the Dominican Republic and Haiti during 2000–2001 and was associated with the circulation of a derivative of the type 1 OPV strain, probably originating from a single OPV dose given in 1998–1999.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Surveillance for Polioviruses in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative
Humayun Asghar,Ousmane M. Diop,Goitom Weldegebriel,Farzana Malik,Sushmitha A. Shetty,Laila El Bassioni,Adefunke O. Akande,Eman Al Maamoun,Syed Sohail Zahoor Zaidi,Adekunle J. Adeniji,Cara C. Burns,Jagadish M. Deshpande,M. Steve Oberste,Sara A. Lowther +13 more
TL;DR: The status of environmental surveillance used by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative is summarized, the rationale for ES is provided, examples of ES methods and findings are given, and how these data are used to achieve poliovirus eradication are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccine-Derived Polioviruses
TL;DR: The attenuated oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) has many properties favoring its use in polio eradication: ease of administration, efficient induction of intestinal immunity, induction of durable humoral immunity, and low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Poliovirus Replicative Fitness in HeLa Cells by Deoptimization of Synonymous Codon Usage in the Capsid Region
Cara C. Burns,Jing Shaw,Ray Campagnoli,Jaume Jorba,Annelet Vincent,Jacqueline Quay,Olen M. Kew +6 more
TL;DR: Perhaps unexpectedly, the synthesis and processing of viral proteins appeared to be largely unaltered by the restriction in codon usage, and the replicative fitness of both codon replacement viruses and unmodified viruses increased with the passage number in HeLa cells.
