Why the study?
Case-based acute flaccid paralysis surveillance alone leads to difficulties in early detection of poliovirus transmission dynamics and monitoring environmental circulation amidst complex final poliovirus elimination.
Does environmental surveillance complement case-based AFP surveillance in detecting poliovirus transmission?
Does environmental surveillance complement case-based AFP surveillance in detecting poliovirus transmission?
Environmental surveillance is a crucial complement to case-based AFP surveillance for detecting poliovirus transmission dynamics.
