Analysis of acute flaccid paralysis surveillance in Ethiopia, 2005-2015: progress and challenges
Introduction: Ethiopia joined the global effort to eradicate polio in 1996, and interrupted indigenous wild poliovirus transmission by December 2001. However, the country experienced numerous separate importations during 2003-2013. Sensitive Acute Flaccid (AFP) surveillance is critical to rule out undetected circulation of WPV and VDPVs. Methods: in this study described, we used a retrospective descriptive study design to characterize the surveillance performance from 2005 to 2015. Results: the none-polio AFP rate improved from 2.6/100,000 children
