TLDR
A randomised, double-blind, controlled trial to assess the immunogenicity of a novel bivalent types 1 and 3 oral poliovirus vaccine and the superiority of monovalent type 2 OPV over trivalent OPV, and the non-inferiority of bivalent vaccine compared with mopV1 and mOPV3.About:

Polio vaccination: past, present and future.
TL;DR: Although substantial effectiveness and safety data exist on the use and delivery of OPV and IPV, several new research initiatives are currently underway to fill specific knowledge gaps to inform future vaccination policies that would assure polio is eradicated and eradication is maintained.

TL;DR: It is estimated from the poliomyelitis case count and the paralytic case-to-infection ratio for type 2 wild poliovirus infections that ∼700,000 cVDPV2 infections have occurred during the outbreak.

TL;DR: Israel was certified as polio-free country in June 2002, but wild-type polio virus ₁ (WPV₁) was isolated initially from routine sewage samples collected between 7 and 13 April 2013 in two cities in the Southern district, and WPV-specific analysis of samples indicated WPV⁁ introduction into that area in early February 2013.

The global polio eradication initiative: lessons learned and prospects for success.
TL;DR: There were real opportunities to achieve new landmarks in polio eradication, especially in the key WPV reservoirs of India and Nigeria, setting the stage for polio to soon follow smallpox into the history books.

TL;DR: Controversy over vaccine choice for polio eradication can be reconciled by effective combined use of IPV and Sabin together, and IPV in OPV-vaccinated individuals boosts intestinal mucosal immunity.

New Strategies for the Elimination of Polio from India

TL;DR: It is shown that high population density and poor sanitation cause persistence by not only facilitating transmission of poliovirus but also severely compromising the efficacy of the trivalent vaccine, and switching to monovalent vaccine may finally interrupt virus transmission.
