Comments: [...] As of 16 May 2025, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has confirmed a polio outbreak—the first since 2018—after detecting two cases of poliovirus type 2 in children from Lae, Morobe Province. Environmental samples from Port Moresby also tested positive for the virus, indicating community transmission. Genetic sequencing links the strain to poliovirus circulating in Indonesia.
