A recent study conducted by researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on the molecular epidemiology of poliovirus vaccines. The study aimed to detect the presence of vaccine strain polioviruses, vaccine-derived polioviruses, and wild polioviruses in high-risk countries using environmental surveillance. The researchers collaborated with Guatemala's National Health Laboratory and used monthly sewage collections to screen for enterovirus presence. Through next-generation sequencing, they identified a variety of enteroviruses, including echoviruses, coxsackieviruses, and polioviruses, in wastewater samples from Guatemala. The study concluded that next-generation sequencing can provide valuable molecular epidemiological information on multiple enterovirus types present in wastewater. [Extracted from the article] |
