414009 Total (reported) polio cases per million   Total paralytic polio cases refers to the sum of wild poliovirus cases and circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus cases. Circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) cases refer to cases of paralytic polio who have been infected by a poliovirus strain that was derived from a vaccine and where there is evidence that the strain has undergone community transmission. This definition is described by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220306074558/https://polioeradication.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Reporting-and-Classification-of-VDPVs_Aug2016_EN.pdf Wild poliovirus cases refer to cases of paralytic polio who have been infected by a wild poliovirus strain. Strains that are not considered vaccine-derived are considered wild poliovirus.
