Epidemiological Basis for Polio Eradication • Poliovirus causes acute, non-persistent infections • Virus is transmitted only by infectious humans or their waste • Virus survival in the environment is finite • Humans are the only reservoir • Immunization with polio vaccine interrupts virus transmission

  7. Epidemiological Basis for Measles Eradication • Measles affects humans only • No chronic carriers • Characteristic clinical illness • Highly effective measles vaccine • Herd immunity could prevent measles
