Supports intensified environmental surveillance for silent poliovirus; leaves open optimal global implementation and cost-effectiveness.
Observational
Environmental surveillance using advanced molecular methods is critical for detecting and managing silent transmission of wild poliovirus.
Shulman et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) transmission. Intensified environmental surveillance was evaluated on Detection and location of sustained WPV1 transmission. Intensified environmental surveillance successfully detected and tracked the silent introduction and sustained transmission of wild poliovirus type 1 in Israel, guiding public health responses.
