Environmental Surveillance for Polio: Selected References
Environmental surveillance (ES) has assumed growing importance as a complement to acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance in the final stages of polio eradication. In Kenya, the recently discovered focus of polio in Nairobi was identified by ES, and missed by traditional AFP surveillance. In Nigeria, where continuing WPV transmission went undetected by AFP surveillance for years, there are now 70 ES sites, complementing the AFP surveillance system.
The first article mentioned below gives an overview of ES within the framework of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Other items cite the experience of developing countries (Pakistan, Nigeria, Senegal) and developed countries (U.K., Poland, Italy and Israel) with ES.
ES may be important in developed countries because they often lack the WHO-supported structures for AFP surveillance, and because, additionally, they have extensive sewage systems, which are a prerequisite for ES.
Good reading.
