[00:00.00] | From VOA Learning English, |
[00:02.34] | this is the Health Report. |
[00:05.02] | The World Health Organization has declared |
[00:08.68] | the Pakistani city of Peshawar the world's |
[00:11.92] | "largest reservoir" of endemic polio virus. |
[00:16.86] | And WHO officials fear Pakistanis |
[00:20.70] | could face travel restrictions |
[00:23.56] | unless steps are taken immediately |
[00:25.58] | to stop the disease from spreading. |
[00:28.38] | Researchers studied all the cases of |
[00:31.35] | poliomyelitis in Pakistan last year. |
[00:34.51] | The researchers found that almost every case |
[00:38.05] | could be linked genetically to the polio virus |
[00:41.70] | often reported in Peshawar. |
[00:44.14] | They added that all test samples |
[00:47.28] | collected from different parts of the city |
[00:49.96] | have shown the presence of the highly infections virus. |
[00:54.46] | Polio mainly affects children under 5 years of age. |
[00:58.75] | The virus is passed through food or water. |
[01:02.55] | The virus reproduces in the body |
[01:05.79] | and later invades the nerve system. |
[01:08.75] | The disease can sometimes lead to paralysis |
[01:12.77] | with loss of muscle control in part of the body. |
[01:16.67] | The WHO study found that 90 percent of Pakistan's Polio cases |
[01:23.10] | could be linked to the virus in Peshawar. |
[01:26.43] | In addition, 12 of the 13 polio cases in Afghanistan |
[01:31.77] | were also linked to the city. |
[01:34.46] | Elias Durry serves as the WHO's emergency coordinator |
[01:40.55] | for polio in Pakistan. |
[01:42.87] | He says local officials need to take urgent action |
[01:47.32] | to strengthen vaccination campaigns. |
[01:49.93] | He says the situation in Peshawar not only threatens |
[01:54.61] | the gains Pakistan has made against Polio, |
[01:58.18] | but could also harm international efforts to stop the disease. |
[02:04.10] | "Unless the polio eradication program in Pakistan |
[02:06.49] | is able to curtail the transmission in Peshawar, |
[02:09.72] | the expansion of the viruses to other places will not stop. |
[02:13.45] | So, it is critical that Peshawar, |
[02:15.48] | the way it is behaving now, |
[02:17.71] | really be able to find ways of interrupting these transmissions |
[02:22.66] | that have been consistent throughout the years," said Durry. |
[02:26.09] | He also noted an increase in deadly attacks |
[02:30.41] | on vaccination campaign workers |
[02:32.87] | in and around Peshawar and in other areas. |
[02:36.96] | Taliban militants often attack polio workers in Pakistan. |
[02:42.86] | The militants accuse them of being American spies |
[02:46.91] | or part of a plot to keep Muslims from having babies. |
[02:52.17] | Most of the attacks have taken place in Peshawar |
[02:55.77] | because the city is close to the country's tribal districts. |
[02:59.83] | Extremist groups have bases in those areas. |
[03:04.20] | Elias Durry did not reject the possibility of other countries |
[03:09.33] | ordering travel and visa restrictions on Pakistan |
[03:13.56] | if there is no quick improvement in the situation. |
[03:17.03] | In neighboring India, no polio cases have been reported |
[03:22.42] | for the past 3 years. |
[03:25.36] | Starting this month, all visitors to India from Pakistan |
[03:30.00] | are required to show a record of their polio vaccination. |
[03:35.06] | And that's the Health Report from VOA Learning English. |
