Key result
Sequencing of 109 type 2 Sabin-like poliovirus isolates from Nigerian children yielded nearly complete genomes to support global polio eradication efforts.
Why the study?
Understanding the genetic makeup of type 2 Sabin-like polioviruses may contribute to polio eradication efforts.
Provides genome sequences of type 2 Sabin-like polioviruses from Nigeria to aid polio eradication efforts.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Adds Nigerian Sabin-like sequences to global repositories; leaves open their utility for eradication surveillance modeling.
We sequenced 109 type 2 Sabin-like poliovirus isolates that had been collected from acute flaccid paralysis patients or healthy children in Nigeria. Understanding the genetic makeup of these viruses may contribute to polio eradication efforts.
