According to recent research from Paris, France, "Pathogenic circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPVs) have become a major obstacle to the successful completion of the global polio eradication program." "Most cVDPVs are recombinant between the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) and human enterovirus species C (HEV-C). To study the role of HEV-C sequences in the phenotype of cVDPVs, we generated a series of recombinants between a Madagascar cVDPV isolate and its parental OPV type 2 strain," wrote F.B. Riquet and colleagues. The researchers concluded: "Results indicated that the HEV-C sequences present in this cVDPV contribute to its...
