Population

Sewage samples from 74 sites across Israel representing various communities

Intervention

Intensified environmental surveillance including increased sampling frequency, broadened geographical area, and a newly developed WPV1-SOAS-specific quantitative real-time RT-PCR assay

Outcome

Detection and viral load of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) of the South Asia (SOAS) lineage

A rapid, strain-specific RT-PCR assay facilitated intensified environmental surveillance of wild poliovirus, informing public health response during a silent circulation event.
