Intussusception and Oral Poliovirus Vaccination: Is There an Association? [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2004 Oral rotavirus vaccine was voluntarily withdrawn from the market after studies observed an increased risk of intussusception within 2 weeks after immunization. Concern has been raised that other orally administered vaccines, such as oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), may also be associated with intussusception.

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

Development of a new oral poliovirus vaccine for the eradication end game using codon deoptimization
npj Vaccines, 2020 Enormous progress has been made in global efforts to eradicate poliovirus, using live-attenuated Sabin oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). However, as the incidence of disease due to wild poliovirus has declined, vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) has emerged ...

Has wild poliovirus been eliminated from Nigeria? [PDF]
, 2015 Wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) has not been seen anywhere since the last case of WPV3-associated paralysis in Nigeria in November 2012. At the time of writing, the most recent case of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) in Nigeria occurred in July 2014, and ...

Impact of inactivated poliovirus vaccine on mucosal immunity: implications for the polio eradication endgame. [PDF]
, 2015 The polio eradication endgame aims to bring transmission of all polioviruses to a halt. To achieve this aim, it is essential to block viral replication in individuals via induction of a robust mucosal immune response. Although it has long been recognized

The role of research in viral disease eradication and elimination programs: Lessons for malaria eradication [PDF]
, 2011 By examining the role research has played in eradication or regional elimination initiatives for three viral diseases-smallpox, poliomyelitis, and measles-we derive nine cross-cutting lessons applicable to malaria eradication.
