Genomic Features of Intertypic Recombinant Sabin Poliovirus Strains Excreted by Primary Vaccinees
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
The trivalent oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV) contains three different poliovirus serotypes. It use therefore creates particularly favorable conditions for mixed infection of gut cells, and indeed intertypic vaccine-derived recombinants (VdRec) have been frequently found in patients with vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis. Nevertheless, there have not been extensive searches for VdRec in healthy...
