About the Book

This work reports scientific presentations on the latest progress in polio eradication and vaccination given at an international symposium held in June 2000. Topics covered include: the progress towards global eradication and the role of the WHO Polio Eradication Programme; the efficiency and reliability of virological surveillance and the scientific basis for certification of eradication, including perspectives from countries in the developing world as well as from the developed; updates on the molecular biology and genetics of poliovirus and poliovaccines, including the molecular basis for attenuation and reversion to virulence and the interesting area of receptor specificity for polio and other enteroviruses; the advantages and disadvantages of contemporary poliovaccines and immunization strategies, reviewed by participants from industry and public health organizations; the role of inactivated poliovaccines in the end game and the vexed question of when and how vaccination against polio can be safely suspended as well as the risks of re-introduction of polio post-eradication and post-vaccination; and gaps in scientific knowledge in the fields of virology, immunology and epidemiology relevant to the end game of polio eradication and priorities for future scientific research. This volume should be a key reference on polio eradication and vaccination, not only for academic researchers but also for members of public health organizations, vaccine manufacturers and managers of immunization programmes.
