Authorities try to track source of mysterious polio virus in Tampere

The virus was first detected in the Tampere sewage system back in December 2008 and has been showing up in the waste system ever since. Since then they have been unable to identify the source of the virus.
This year the virus showed up again in the Tampere waste system, where more than 70 polio virus populations were identified, all of them apparently originating from a vaccine.
