Abstract

VP1 sequences were determined for poliovirus type 1 isolates obtained over a 189-day period from a poliomyelitis patient with common variable immunodeficiency syndrome (a defect in antibody formation). The isolate from the first sample, taken 11 days after onset of paralysis, contained two poliovirus populations, differing from the Sabin 1 vaccine strain by ∼10%, differing from diverse type 1 wild polioviruses by 19 to 24%, and differing from each other by 5.5% of nucleotides. Specimens taken after day 11 appeared to contain only one major poliovirus population. Evolution of VP1 sequences at synonymous third-codon positions occurred at an overall rate of ∼3.4% per year over the 189-day period. Assuming this rate to be constant throughout the period of infection, the infection was calculated to have started ∼9.3 years earlier. This estimate is about the time (6.9 years earlier) the patient received his last oral poliovirus vaccine dose, approximately 2 years before the diagnosis of immunodeficiency. These findings may have important implications for the strategy to eliminate poliovirus immunization after global polio eradication.

  • The persistence of these viruses in immunocompromised individuals may compromise polio eradication efforts.

  • Recent reports describe highly divergent VDPVs associated with chronic poliovirus infections or with polio outbreaks.

    “Recent reports describing highly divergent VDPVs associated with chronic poliovirus infections (10, 69, 88, 90, 113, 123, 216, 223) or with polio outbreaks (84, 169, 177, 226) underscored the earlier concerns and challenged the critical assumption that OPV-derived viruses would not long persist in the community.”
  • Most RNA viruses have highly mutable genomes potentially capable of rapid evolution, many orders of magnitude faster than the genomes of DNA viruses or cellular organisms, and polioviruses are among the most rapidly evolving of all RNA viruses.

    “Most RNA viruses have highly mutable genomes that are potentially capable of rapid evolution, many of orders of magnitude faster than the genomes of DNA viruses or cellular organisms (41, 45), and polioviruses are among the most rapidly evolving of all RNA viruses (60, 88, 108, 117, 185, 226).”
  • Nucleotide substitutions (>80% of which in the coding region are to synonymous codons) accumulate at an overall rate of ~1% per year at all sites, and at ~3% per year at synonymous sites.

    “Nucleotide substitutions ( > 80% of which in the coding region are to synonymous codons) accumulate at an overall rate of ∼ 1% per year at all sites, and at ∼ 3% per year at synonymous sites (10, 60, 85, 88, 108, 117).”
  • They also appear to be largely independent of immune selection, as evolution rates are similar during prolonged replication in immunodeficient patients and during widespread circulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
