Abstract

Successful implementation of the global poliomyelitis eradication program raises the problem of vaccination against poliomyelitis in the posteradication era. One of the options under consideration envisions completely stopping worldwide the use of the Sabin vaccine. This strategy is based on the assumption that the natural circulation of attenuated strains and their derivatives is strictly limited. Here, we report the characterization of a highly evolved derivative of the Sabin vaccine strain isolated in a case of paralytic poliomyelitis from a 7-month-old immunocompetent baby in an apparently adequately immunized population. Analysis of the genome of this isolate showed that it is a double (type 1-type 2-type 1) vaccine-derived recombinant. The number of mutations accumulated in both the type 1-derived and type 2-derived portions of the recombinant genome suggests that both had diverged from their vaccine predecessors ∼2 years before the onset of the illness. This fact, along with other recent observations, points to the possibility of long-term circulation of Sabin vaccine strain derivatives associated with an increase in their neurovirulence. Comparison of genomic sequences of this and other evolved vaccine-derived isolates reveals some general features of natural poliovirus evolution. They include a very high preponderance and nonrandom distribution of synonymous substitutions, conservation of secondary structures of important cis -acting elements of the genome, and an apparently adaptive character of most of the amino acid mutations, with only a few of them occurring in the antigenic determinants. Another interesting feature is a frequent occurrence of tripartite intertypic recombinants with either type 1 or type 3 homotypic genomic ends.

  • Recombination is most often detected in Sabin 2 and Sabin 3 derived isolates and rarely in Sabin 1.

    “Recombination is most often detected in Sabin 2 and Sabin 3 derived isolates and rarely in Sabin 1 [50–52,55,56].”
  • The underlying cause of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) is the genetic instability of oral polio vaccine (OPV) strains, as key substitutions conferring the attenuated phenotype of Sabin strains have been frequently found to be reverted in isolates from VAPP cases.

    “The underlying cause of VAPP is the genetic instability of OPV strains, as key substitutions conferring the attenuated phenotype of Sabin strains have been frequently found to be reverted in isolates from VAPP cases [52].”
  • In Russia in 1999, an immunocompetent seven-month-old orphanage child contracted VAPP associated with a type 1 VDPV.

    “In Russia in 1999, an immunocompetent seven-month-old orphanage child contracted VAPP associated with a type 1 VDPV (26).”
  • The two 1999 aVDPVs from Russia were isolated from different children living in the same orphanage, and although the isolates were of different serotypes, they shared some vaccine/vaccine recombinant noncapsid sequences.

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.
