Zusammenfassung: | Aims
This study compared the bag‐mediated filtration system (BMFS) and standard WHO two‐phase separation methods for poliovirus (PV) environmental surveillance, examined factors impacting PV detection and monitored Sabin‐like (SL) PV type 2 presence with withdrawal of oral polio vaccine type 2 (OPV2) in April 2016.
Methods and Results
Environmental samples were collected in Nairobi, Kenya (Sept 2015–Feb 2017), concentrated via BMFS and two‐phase separation methods, then assayed using the WHO PV isolation algorithm and intratypic differentiation diagnostic screening kit. SL1, SL2 and SL3 were detected at higher rates in BMFS than two‐phase samples (P 0·05), while SL3 was detected less frequently with higher shipment temperatures (P = 0·027). SL2 was detected more frequently before OPV2 withdrawal in BMFS and two‐phase samples (P |
