In 2004, Israel switched from using OPV to using IPV. Then, after wild-type polio was found to be circulating in the population in 2013, a supplementary OPV program was begun for children who had received only IPV. Describe what would be the best rationale for an OPV supplementary program?

OPV contains all three poliovirus serotypes(1,2 and3)and the use of this vaccines has led to eradication of wild-polio virus type2(WPV2),with the last case occurring in 1922.

Oral polio Vaccine(OPV)has been effective in helping us to get closer to the Global eradication of poliovirus.These unnecessary case of WPV2 could be avoided by using Inactivated polio vaccine(IPV)instead of OPV.Hence OPV was switched to IPV.Here OPV is taken orally as drops and can be easily administered.It doesn't require a trained health worker.But OPV is still the main preventive measure taken against polio virus.

The introduction of ipv reduces risks associated with the withdrawal for OPV.It facilitate interruption of transmission with the use of monovalent OPV type 2,in the cases of outbreak.

Given the risk,the type 2 component of OPV poses to the world free of WPV2,OPV was replaced with bOPV in routine programs and supplementary immunization activities(SIAs).

The supplementary immunization programs such as mass immunization campaign are one of the four pillars of eradication.It tend to complement-not replace-routine immunization..

A fly was found that had two mutations, Q&Z. Reciprocal crosses between wild type flies and Q&Z mutants gave all Q&Z mutant F1 progeny in all cases. These results suggest that the Q&Z mutations have an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The genes X, Q, and Z appear to be linked. To map the genes the following crosses were done. A homozygous Q, Z mutant female was crossed to a homozygous X mutant males shown in the diagram below. X, Q,...

A female fruit fly with singed bristles was mated with a male from a true-breeding wild-type stock with long bristles. All of the F1 females had wild-type long bristles and all of the F1 males had singed bristles. If the F1 flies are intercrossed, the expected ratio of long to singed bristles in the F2 flies is Multiple Choice 3:1 in both sexes. 3:1 in females, while all the males will have singed bristles. 1:1 in both sexes. 1:1 in...

Antibody is prepared to the thr repressor protein isolated from a wild-type strain. Competetive antibody binding assays show that several times more repressor is present in an extract prepared from the derepressed mutant described above than in an extract prepared from the wild-type strain. What is your interpretation of these data? The repressor protein requires a pH of 6.1 for optimal binding to its operator in vitro. If the pH goes above pH 8.0, the repressor is unable to bind. What amino acid side...

After isolating DNA from a newly studied human population, it is found that the 112th base of the NGF receptor gene is a “T” in most individuals in this population; in all other human populations in which the gene had been sequenced previously, this base was always found to be an “A.” This newly-discovered polymorphism would be classified as a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) simple sequence repeat polymorphism (SSR) insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel) copy number variation (CNV) complex variant

A bacterium isolated from sewage sludge was recently found to be capable of anoxygenic photosynthesis using nitrite as the electron donor, converting it to nitrate. Compare this form of nitrification to that which is well characterized. By removing nitrite from the environment, what other processes within the nitrogen cycle might this bacterium be influencing?
