Supports sustained polio eradication in Tunisia; hypothesis-generating for non-polio enterovirus epidemiology in the region.
Observational (n=4,700)
This 12-year surveillance study confirms the eradication of wild poliovirus in Tunisia since 1995 and characterizes the epidemiology of non-polio enteroviruses in the region.
Bahri et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Enterovirus infection and aseptic meningitis (n=4,700). Enterovirus infection was evaluated on Enterovirus detection and serotype identification. Over a 12-year surveillance period in Tunisia, wild poliovirus circulation was confirmed interrupted since 1995, and 29 different serotypes of non-polio enteroviruses were detected.
