Polio in India 'can be wiped out'

Mass child immunisation is key
Vaccination could eradicate India's persistent polio problem, health experts say.

Despite massive immunisation efforts, almost a third of all polio cases in the world occur in India.

UK experts at Imperial College London say they have identified the main factors that let the virus rage here - poor sanitation and overcrowding.

They told Science magazine a newer polio vaccine should be able to overcome these obstacles.

Urgency

Two months ago, India's health minister held an emergency meeting of officials from the states affected by the disease.

Last year, only 66 cases of polio were recorded in India, but there have been 522 cases so far this year.

In the impoverished states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, where India's recent polio epidemics originate, poor sanitation and high population density are the key obstacles to eradicating the virus, says lead researcher Dr Nicholas Grassly.
