2002 SEP 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The number of new polio cases in India nearly tripled in the first 6 months of this year, compared with the same period in 2001, in a setback to the world's goal of eradicating the crippling disease by 2005.

According to the National Polio Surveillance Project, run by the government and the World Health Organization, 86 new cases were reported from January through June this year - compared with 31 cases over the same period last year.

The total number of new polio cases for 2002 could end up being triple the 268 cases reported last year, said Dr. Anubha Ghose, India's director for health at the international humanitarian organization CARE. New cases increase in the second half of the year, during India's rainy season.
