Abstract

Wastewater testing can inform public health action as a component of polio outbreak response. During 2022–2023, a total of 7 US jurisdictions (5 states and 2 cities) participated in prospective or retrospective testing of wastewater for poliovirus after a paralytic polio case was identified in New York state. Two distinct vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 viruses were detected in wastewater from New York state and New York City during 2022, representing 2 separate importation events. Of those viruses, 1 resulted in persistent community transmission in multiple New York counties and 1 paralytic case. No poliovirus was detected in the other participating jurisdictions (Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, and Illinois and Chicago, IL). The value of routine wastewater surveillance for poliovirus apart from an outbreak is unclear. However, these results highlight the ongoing risk for poliovirus importations into the United States and the need to identify undervaccinated communities and increase vaccination coverage to prevent paralytic polio.

2022-2023 年美国部分辖区的脊髓灰质炎病毒废水监测情况

作为脊髓灰质炎疫情应对措施的一部分，废水检测可为公共卫生行动提供信息。2022-2023 年期间，在纽约州发现一例麻痹性脊髓灰质炎病例后，美国共有 7 个辖区（5 个州和 2 个城市）参与了前瞻性或回顾性的废水脊髓灰质炎病毒检测。2022 年期间，在纽约州和纽约市的废水中检测到了两种不同的疫苗衍生型脊髓灰质炎病毒 2 型，代表了两个不同的输入事件。其中 1 种病毒在纽约州多个县造成了持续的社区传播，并导致 1 例麻痹病例。其他参与辖区（康涅狄格州、新泽西州、密歇根州、伊利诺伊州和伊利诺伊州芝加哥市）未检测到脊髓灰质炎病毒。除疫情爆发外，常规废水监测脊髓灰质炎病毒的价值尚不明确。但是，这些结果突显了脊髓灰质炎病毒输入美国的持续风险，以及识别疫苗接种不足社区和提高疫苗接种覆盖率以预防麻痹性脊髓灰质炎的必要性。

期刊介绍： Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination. Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
