Conquering polio Polio in figures Partnerships The disease ... Polio vaccines In the last 15 years, the number of cases of polio worldwide has dropped spectacularly, going from 350,000 cases in 1988 when the Global Polio Eradication Initiative began to just a few hundred today. This eradication initiative aims to eliminate all cases due to the wild virus throughout the world. Polio is a unique disease in the history of medicine. In more than one instance, the fight against polio has given rise to an extraordinary public reaction and mobilization. The first polio vaccine, the injectable vaccine developed by Jonas Salk, was hailed as a breakthrough in medical research. Health care for polio victims has led to advances that have become standard practice in today's hospitals. In addition, the methods used to produce the polio vaccine revolutionized manufacturing techniques, which were then applied to other vaccines. Smallpox, eradicated in 1980 through vaccination, was the first infectious disease to ever be eliminated from the planet. Today polio is on the verge of becoming the second such disease, eradicated thanks to the efforts of countless people.

He came to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Ohio, in 1939. Dr. Albert Sabin's Research Dr. Sabin's research, documented in some 350 scientific papers, would include work on pneumonia, encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, viruses, sandfly fever, dengue and cancer. But his passion was poliomyelitis, and this was where he turned his attention after World War II. Dr. Sabin first thought the polio virus gained entrance through the respiratory tract, then found evidence that entry was through the digestive system. His studies of incidence showed that, contrary to many diseases, acute polio was rare in urban populations with poor sanitation conditions (as existed in many parts of China). Return to Top Follow-up studies showed children in such places had protective antibodies in their blood, though they exhibited no sign of ever having had polio.

51. Development Of Polio Vaccines Vaccine developments for polio had begun in the early 1900 s. The discovery and use of polio vaccines has all but eliminated polio in the Americas. http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/CC/polio.html

Access Excellence Classic Collection Development of Polio Vaccines by Bonnie A. Maybury Okonek and Linda Morganstein, editor In 1921, outbreaks of poliomyelitis plagued America. That summer, a young politician named Franklin Delano Roosevelt was vacationing with his family at their Campobello estate. After an exhausting day fighting a local forest fire, taking a cold swim for relief, and then lounging in his wet swimsuit at home, he went to bed feeling as though he had contracted a cold. In a few days Roosevelt found out he had polio. As it did with Roosevelt, polio can strike quickly. The virus enters the body by nose or mouth and travels to the intestines, where it incubates. A few days later, most patients are either asymptomatic or they experience flu-like symptoms, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Whether they are symptomatic or not, people at this stage can pass the disease on to others. Polio can be spread through contact with infected feces or through infected droplets traveling through the air, in food, or in water. The virus next enters the bloodstream, and the patient makes antibodies against it. In most cases, this stops the progression of the virus; lifelong immunity against the disease is acquired. 10% of infected people develop symptoms and 1% develop the paralytic form of polio.

ABUJA, Nigeria (Reuters) Three states in northern Nigeria have suspended a polio immunization program led by the World Health Organisation (WHO) because they feared it spread AIDS and caused infertility, Nigerian officials said on Monday. In Geneva, the WHO said there was no question about the purity or safety of the vaccine it used and warned that Nigeria was exporting the disease to neighbouring countries. The mainly-Muslim states of Kano, Zamfara and Kaduna suspended the program last week, said Chinwere Chukwuani, a director at Nigeria's National Polio Immunization Office. She told Reuters the suspension meant the debilitating disease could spread further in Nigeria, one of only seven countries where the virus is still prevalent and which has the highest number of cases in the world.
