Zusammenfassung:•AFPS monitors the progress towards polio eradication.•AFPS is a useful tool for assessing the contribution of NPEV in AFP cases.•AFPS is able to link the molecular-epidemiological features of emerging NPEV.•In absence of NPEV-based surveillance systems, AFPS recognized emerging AFM cases. Acute Flaccid Paralyses Surveillance (AFPS) monitors the emergence of polioviruses and can track Non-Polio Enteroviruses (NPEVs). We report AFPS activity in the Lombardy region (Northern Italy) from 2016 to 2018. Fecal and respiratory samples were collected from children
