The last case of polio in Cyprus caused by a wild-type poliovirus occurred in 1995. Since then Cyprus belongs to the countries considered poliovirus-free by the WHO. The aim of this study was to confirm the absence of any circulating wild-type polioviruses and to monitor vaccine-derived polioviruses in Cyprus by analysis of sewages. During the course of this study no wild-type polioviruses were identified, although the identification of viable oral poliovirus vaccine isolates confirmed the presence and circulation of poliovirus vaccine strains in sewage in Cyprus.
塞浦路斯最后一例由野生型脊髓灰质炎病毒引起的脊髓灰质炎病例发生在1995年。从那时起，塞浦路斯属于世界卫生组织认定的无脊髓灰质炎病毒国家。本研究的目的是通过污水分析来确认塞浦路斯是否不存在任何正在传播的野生型脊髓灰质炎病毒，并监测疫苗衍生脊髓灰质炎病毒。在本研究过程中，未发现野生型脊髓灰质炎病毒，尽管对活口服脊髓灰质炎疫苗分离株的鉴定证实了塞浦路斯污水中存在脊髓灰质炎疫苗株并在传播。
