Poliovirus – London, England

Health authorities have found poliovirus in sewage samples collected from the London Beckton Sewage Treatment Works. Investigations are underway after the several closely-related viruses which were found in sewage samples taken between February and May. The virus has continued to evolve and is now classified as a ‘vaccine-derived’ poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2), which on rare occasions can cause serious illness, such as paralysis, in people who are not fully vaccinated. The last case of wild polio contracted in the UK was confirmed in 1984. The UK was declared polio-free in 2003.
