 Rotary International: Newsroom: With Egypt and Niger off list, four polio-endemic countries remain
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative announced today that Egypt and Niger are no longer polio endemic since the indigenous form of the virus that causes the disease has not circulated in either country for over 12 months.
Unlike Egypt, where the challenge to eradication was polio transmission in crowded cities, Niger faced a problem of sparse population, some of it nomadic, scattered over a vast country sharing a heavily traveled border with Nigeria, the world's largest reservoir of the poliovirus.
The success in Egypt and Niger is the result of intense efforts in 2004-05 to halt Africa's polio epidemic and fast-track the introduction of monovalent polio vaccines into selected areas.
