CORRIGENDUM

In Vol. 80, No. 11 (the November 2002 issue), the title of the first item should read "paralysis", and not "poliovirus". In the first sentence under this title, the words "caused by poliomyelitis" should be deleted. There were no cases of polio in Australia during the period discussed, as the article referred to makes clear. The cases of acute flaccid paralysis reported were attributed to other diseases.
