Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccine-derived polioviruses and the endgame strategy for global polio eradication.
TL;DR: Two other adverse events have been identified more recently: long-term excretion of highly evolved vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) in persons with primary immunodeficiencies, and polio outbreaks associated with circulating VDPVs in areas with low rates of OPV coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polio eradication: the OPV paradox
TL;DR: The core post eradication immunization issues include the risk/benefits of continued OPV use, the extent of OPV replacement with IPV, possible strategies for discontinuing OPV, and the potential for development and licensure of a safe and effective replacement for OPV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged Detection of Indigenous Wild Polioviruses in Sewage from Communities in Egypt

TL;DR: Wild polioviruses persisted in the environment despite implementation of oral poliovirus vaccine immunization campaigns and critical evaluation of immunization coverage, and performance of surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis are proposed as follow-up activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Containment of polioviruses after eradication and OPV cessation: characterizing risks to improve management.
Wealter Dowdle,Harrie van der Avoort,Esther de Gourville,Francis Delpeyroux,Jagadish Desphande,Tapani Hovi,Javier Martin,Mark A. Pallansch,Olen M. Kew,Chris Wolff +9 more
TL;DR: The potential exposure pathways that might lead to a poliovirus reintroduction are considered, including para‐occupational exposures and releases to the environment, and the literature is reviewed to provide available estimates and a qualitative assessment of containment risks.
