Read moreRecombination among human non-polio enteroviruses: implications for epidemiology and evolution
Human enteroviruses (EV) belong to the Picornaviridae family and are among the most common viruses infecting humans. They consist of up to 100 immunologically and genetically distinct types: polioviruses, coxsackieviruses A and B, echoviruses...
Read moreEvolution and Emergence of Enteroviruses through Intra- and Inter-species Recombination: Plasticity and Phenotypic Impact of Modular Genetic Exchanges in the 5′ Untranslated Region.
Abstract Genetic recombination shapes the diversity of RNA viruses, including enteroviruses (EVs), which frequently have mosaic genomes. Pathogenic circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) genomes consist of mutated vaccine poliovirus (PV)...
Read moreCommon and diverse features of cocirculating type 2 and 3 recombinant vaccine-derived polioviruses isolated from patients with poliomyelitis and healthy children.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Five cases of poliomyelitis due to type 2 or 3 recombinant vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) were reported in the Toliara province of Madagascar in 2005. METHODS: We sequenced the genome of the VDPVs isolated from the...
Read moreRecombination between poliovirus and coxsackie A viruses of species C: a model of viral genetic plasticity and emergence.
Abstract Genetic recombination in RNA viruses was discovered many years ago for poliovirus (PV), an enterovirus of the Picornaviridae family, and studied using PV or other picornaviruses as models. Recently, recombination was shown to be a...

Study found vaccine strain polio viruses in the sewerage system in Switzerland. 20 out of 174 waste water samples contained 62 isolates of polio. Three quarters of the strains found had mutated into a virulant type capable of infecting others...
