Polio eradication successes and struggles, Unusual infectious disease news

On this weekends Outbreak News This Week Radio show, I spend the first half talking to World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson for polio eradication, Oliver Rosenbauer.

During the interview, Mr Rosenbauer discusses some history on polio, including the introduction of the vaccine, the different vaccines and the purposes and differences and the situation and difficulties as we get closer to eradication in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

During the second half, I look at several quite unusual news stories and studies- from rhinosporidiosis to sweat bees in the eye to a little girl with a sand flea infestation acquired running through a pigsty with no shoes on.

I also look at some parasite news from Canada, which includes a report of a toxoplasmosis outbreak linked to deer meat and Echinococcus in southern Ontario.
