[The epidemiological surveillance of poliomyelitis in the Ukraine].

Correlation has been revealed between the circulation of polioviruses among the population and environmental objects. A rise in the circulation of polioviruses, type I, was caused by a decrease in collective immunity to this virus type. Water supply and sewage system purification was found ineffective with respect to enteroviral contamination. Vaccinal prophylaxis, carried out for many years, did not lead to the elimination of poliovirus strains, genetically different from vaccine ones.

[The characteristics of poliovirus strains circulating in Ukraine in 1982-1994].

The intratype characteristics of 219 strains of polioviruses isolated in Ukraine in 1982-1994 from infectious patients including those with poliomyelitis, healthy persons and from the environment objects (sewage, water of open reservoirs, drinking water, food products) are presented. It was shown that 38.35% of strains isolated from people and 15.12%--from abiotic objects possessed virulent properties, i.e., the long-term use of the live poliomyelitis vaccine has not stopped circulation of virulent polioviruses.
