The detection of 3 ambiguous type 2 vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPV2s) in Uganda

Virology Journal, 2018
Background The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV or Sabin) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). Methods In 2014, two VDPVs type 2 were identified during routine surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases ...

Are there functional consequences of a reduction in selenium intake in UK subjects? [PDF]

, 2004
Dietary Se levels in the UK have fallen over the last 20 years and recent surveys indicate that average Se intakes are 30-40 microg/d, which is well below the current UK reference nutrient intake for adult men (75 microg/d) or women (60 microg/d ...

Vaccine-related poliovirus shedding in trivalent polio vaccine and human immunodeficiency virus status: analysis from under five children

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background Poliomyelitis is an acute viral infection caused by poliovirus and transmitted via the fecal–oral route. The causative agent is one of the three serotypes of poliovirus (serotypes 1, 2, 3) that differ slightly in capsid protein.

Preventing Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Emergence during the Polio Endgame

PLOS Pathogens, 2016
Reversion and spread of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) to cause outbreaks of poliomyelitis is a rare outcome resulting from immunisation with the live-attenuated oral poliovirus vaccines (OPVs). Global withdrawal of all three OPV serotypes is therefore a key objective of the polio endgame strategic plan, starting with serotype 2 (OPV2) in April 2016.

Determination of antigenic properties of vaccine derived poliovirus strains

Vaccine, 2010
In this study, the immunity level of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40-year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 11 recombinant and three non-recombinant poliovirus vaccine strains was determined.

Long-Term Circulation of Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus That Causes Paralytic Disease [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2002
ABSTRACT Successful implementation of the global poliomyelitis eradication program raises the problem of vaccination against poliomyelitis in the posteradication era. One of the options under consideration envisions completely stopping worldwide the use of the Sabin vaccine.

Estimated Effect of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine Campaigns, Nigeria and Pakistan, January 2014–April 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
In 2014, inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) campaigns were implemented in Nigeria and Pakistan after clinical trials showed that IPV boosts intestinal immunity in children previously given oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). We estimated the effect of these

OPV strains circulation in HIV infected infants after National Immunisation Days in Bangui, Central African Republic [PDF]

, 2010
Background Humans are the only host of polioviruses, thus the prospects of global polio eradication look reasonable. However, individuals with immunodeficiencies were shown to excrete vaccine derived poliovirus for long periods of time which led to ...
