In total, there are 2618 subspecies of poliomyelitis The vaccines and their derivatives as well as all the feces from which these polioviruses came, which have been destroyed, ”specifies the head of the intercountry reference laboratory for poliomyelitis of the IPCI, Dr Adjogoua Edgard Valery, noting that he is receiving samples from Benin, Niger, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Mali and Côte d’Ivoire.
This fourth process of Devastation Infectious and potentially infectious material from the poliovirus stored in the laboratory poliomyelitis between countries, through the presence of the Director of the Pasteur Institute in Côte d’Ivoire as well as the Chairman of the Containment Sub-Committee, Professor Mireille Dossault, Chairman of the National Certification Committee, Professor Blo Quie Janoux, Former Director General of Health and Chairman of the National Expert Committee poliomyelitisProf. Boa Yabu Felix, WHO Representative Dr. Gahongano Gervais, Head of Laboratory poliomyelitis Between countries, Dr. Adjogoua V.

In August 2018, the Pasteur Institute in Côte d’Ivoire acquired an ATI CP 100 incinerator to improve infectious waste management. The incinerator has a capacity of 100 kg of waste per hour.
The delegation visited the Biological Resource Center (CEREB), the Molecular Genetics Platform, and various laboratories of the Epidemic Virus Department. They were satisfied with the scientific work done in this institute and they all agreed to secure this treasure available to Côte d’Ivoire.
