Study hypothesis
To determine if one or two doses of mOPV2 or mOPV3 induces significantly higher levels of seroconversion against poliovirus types 2 or 3, respectively, than does one or two doses of tOPV to these Sabin strains and to determine if one or two doses of bOPV induces similar seroconversion to types 1 and 3, respectively, compared to one or two doses of mOPV1 or mOPV3. Additionally, at one site (Indore), to determine if one or two doses of mOPV2 or mOPV3 significantly reduces excretion of poliovirus types 2 or 3, respectively than does one or two doses of tOPV and to determine if one or two doses of bOPV significantly reduces excretion of poliovirus type 1 and type 3 than does one or two doses of tOPV.
