Abstract
In spite of the widespread use of oral polio vaccine (O.P.V.), vaccination programs in many tropical and subtropical countries have apparently failed to provide the expected results in the control of paralytic poliomyelitis (1). Among several factors considered responsible for these unsatisfactory results, an important role has been attributed to the interferences of naturally occurring enteroviral infections on the “take rate” in the intestine, following O.P.V. administration (2,3).
