DOI: 10.1186/s12985-025-02827-2
Abstract: The Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) is genetically unstable and may mutate to form vaccinederived polioviruses (VDPVs). At present, the finding of VDPV mainly come from AFP surveillance and environmental sewage surveillance. In 2023, a vaccine-derived… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens13121128
Abstract: Individuals with certain primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) may be unable to clear poliovirus infection after exposure to oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). Over time, vaccine-related strains can revert to immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus (iVDPVs) that can cause… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vaccines12030246
Abstract: Despite the successes in wild-type polio eradication, poor vaccine coverage in the DRC has led to the occurrence of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks. This cross-sectional population-based survey provides an update to previous poliovirus-neutralizing antibody seroprevalence… read more here.
