Asymptomatic immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus infections in two UK children. [PDF]
AbstractIncreasing detections of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) globally, including in countries previously declared polio free, is a public health emergency of international concern. Individuals with primary immunodeficiency (PID) can excrete polioviruses for prolonged periods, which could act as a source of cryptic transmission of viruses with ...

Update on Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Outbreaks - Worldwide, January 2020-June 2021. [PDF]
As of May 1, 2016, use of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) type 2 for routine and supplementary immunization activities ceased after a synchronized global switch from trivalent OPV (tOPV; containing Sabin strain types 1, 2, and 3) to bivalent OPV (bOPV; containing Sabin strain types 1 and 3) subsequent to the certified eradication of wild type poliovirus (

Recombinant Vaccine–Derived Poliovirus in Madagascar
To the Editor: Between October 2001 and April 2002, five cases of acute flaccid paralysis associated with vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) type 2 isolates were reported in the southern province of the Republic of Madagascar. The first patient, an 11-year-old child from the urban district of Toliara, first experienced paralysis on October 29, 2001 ...

Vaccine Derived Poliovirus (VDPV). [PDF]
Poliomyelitis is caused by Poliovirus, a member of a large group of enteroviruses. Vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) stem from mutated live poliovirus, which is contained in the Oral Polio Virus vaccine (OPV). In addition, the emergence of VDPV is one of the global challenges for the eradication of poliomyelitis.

Implications of a Circulating Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus in Nigeria [PDF]
The largest recorded outbreak of a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV), detected in Nigeria, provides a unique opportunity to analyze the pathogenicity of the virus, the clinical severity of the disease, and the effectiveness of control measures for cVDPVs as compared with wild-type poliovirus (WPV).We identified cases of acute flaccid ...

Estimating the Extent of Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Infection
Eight outbreaks of paralytic polio attributable to circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) have highlighted the risks associated with oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use in areas of low vaccination coverage and poor hygiene. As the Polio Eradication Initiative enters its final stages, it is important to consider the extent to which these viruses ...

Update on Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Outbreaks — Worldwide, July 2019–February 2020 [PDF]
Circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPVs) can emerge in areas with low poliovirus immunity and cause outbreaks* of paralytic polio (1-5). Among the three types of wild poliovirus, type 2 was declared eradicated in 2015 (1,2). The use of trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV; types 1, 2, and 3 Sabin strains) ceased in April 2016 via a 1-month ...
