Wild polio virus strain 3 finally conquered say scientists

World Polio day is observed on the 24th of October. This year on the day officials announced that one of the three strains of the wild polio virus has been finally wiped out due to persistent vaccination efforts across the globe.
There are three wild polio virus strains (WPV strains) of which one is WPV3. Till date WPV2 strain had been eradicated before in 2015 and now the WPV3 joins the list leaving WPV1 still in circulation, explain the experts. This announcement was part of the independent Global Commission for the Certification of Poliomyelitis Eradication report by the World Health Organization (WHO). There has been relentless surveillance for the virus say the researchers before they came to this conclusion.
