Implication

Surveillance update reveals wild poliovirus transmission remained confined to two endemic nations, highlighting persistent acute flaccid paralysis gaps across priority countries.

Key Points

Wild poliovirus serotype 1 transmission remained confined exclusively to Afghanistan and Pakistan, with no international spread detected since August 2022.
Exactly 71.4% of 28 priority countries achieved national acute flaccid paralysis targets, though substantial subnational reporting gaps and lags persisted.
Analysis of acute flaccid paralysis data and environmental surveillance across priority countries highlights the critical need to resolve persistent monitoring gaps.
