An Urdu-language pamphlet distributed by snuffies in Pakistain's tribal regions has warned health workers to stay away from polio...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world.

Despite global eradication, Pakistain is one of just three countries where polio remains endemic, along with Afghanistan and Nigeria.
