Will containment of wild poliovirus in laboratories and inactivated poliovirus vaccine production sites be effective for global certification?

Bulletin of the World Health Organization
The absolute laboratory containment of any virus cannot be guaranteed, but a wealth of experience indicates that effective containment of wild poliovirus materials for global certification is technically and operationally feasible.

Importation and Circulation of Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Serotype 2, Senegal, 2020–2021

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Environmental surveillance for poliovirus is increasingly used in poliovirus eradication efforts as a supplement to acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance. Environmental surveillance was officially established in 2017 in Senegal, where no poliovirus

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Characterization of environmental and clinical surveillance inputs to support prospective integrated modeling of the polio endgame.

PLOS Global Public Health
National, regional, and global poliovirus surveillance needs continue to expand and evolve. The 1988 global resolution to eradicate polio necessitated the creation and support for a global poliovirus surveillance system able to identify poliovirus ...

A Personalised Vaccination Program Based on Immune Reconstitution in Paediatric Cancer Survivors

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Paediatric cancer survivors often experience treatment‐induced immunosuppression, requiring post‐treatment revaccination. However, immune recovery timelines vary, and current revaccination guidelines, largely based on data of varied quality derived from studies on acute‐lymphoblastic‐leukaemia (ALL), may not be applicable across all ...

A Global Perspective of Childhood Vaccinations: Past, Present, and Future—From Smallpox to mRNA

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood immunisation is one of the most successful public health interventions in history, preventing millions of deaths and substantially reducing global child mortality. This mini‐review summarises the historical development of childhood vaccines, the role of global coordination in expanding immunisation coverage, and the innovations that ...

Facility-Associated Release of Polioviruses into Communities—Risks for the Posteradication Era

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative continues to make progress toward the eradication target. Indigenous wild poliovirus (WPV) type 2 was last detected in 1999, WPV type 3 was last detected in 2012, and over the past 2 years WPV type 1 has been ...

Re-localization of cellular protein SRp20 during poliovirus infection: bridging a viral IRES to the host cell translation apparatus. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2011
Poliovirus IRES-mediated translation requires the functions of certain canonical as well as non-canonical factors for the recruitment of ribosomes to the viral RNA. The interaction of cellular proteins PCBP2 and SRp20 in extracts from poliovirus-infected

Trained Immunity in Childhood Vaccination

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
Trained immunity as an emerging concept in paediatric vaccinology. Trained immunity links vaccine stimuli through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming to enhanced innate immune cell function, thereby strengthening protection against diverse pathogens while promoting adaptive immune responses through more efficient antigen presentation and co ...
