Polio in goats baffles experts

Two startling findings by scientists of the National Institute of

Communicable Diseases (NICD) here have given a jolt to the national polio

eradication programme.

Health authorities who have been rattled are trying to

confirm these findings before making them public or taking action.

While investigating a disease outbreak in Gombli village in

Tamil Nadu, NICD scientists have detected polio 'antibodies' in goats

implying that goats can get involved in the cycle of transmission

overthrowing the current notion that humans are the only host of polio virus.

More ominous is the second finding in which they isolated

polio (vaccine) virus from adults of the same village who had developed

paralysis and died. According to NICD, subsequent analysis by Enteroviruses

Research Center in Mumbai showed it to be a mutated form of the strain

currently used in vaccination programme suggesting that the vaccine strain

has reverted to wild type.

While cases of " vaccine derived polio virus " (VDPV) have been

reported globally, the isolation of VDPV from adults has raised the

question whether immunization should be extended to adults and live oral

vaccine should be replaced by killed vaccine, according to NICD sources who

preferred anonymity.

" If the NICD findings were confirmed, the current polio

eradication strategy will no doubt have to be reviewed, " Shoban Sarkar, in

charge of the polio immunization programme in the health ministry told PTI

over phone.
