The article discusses developments in the eradication of poliomyelitis in Nigeria from January 2008 to July 2009. The country had the highest polio burden in 2008, with 48% of wild poliovirus (WPV) cases reported globally. Use of mobile teams to vaccinate children not at home during supplemental immunization activities is of the activities to accelerate polio eradication. The eradication initiative relies on acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance to identify and confirm poliomyelitis cases by viral isolation.
