Identify one part of the world where poliovirus is still endemic.

Explanation:
Endemic polio means wild poliovirus is still circulating in that region and transmission has not been interrupted there. In the current global picture, ongoing transmission remains in parts of Africa and Asia, while Europe, North America, Australia, and the polar regions have not seen wild poliovirus circulation for many years due to strong vaccination and surveillance efforts. So identifying parts of Africa and Asia as places where poliovirus is still endemic reflects where actual ongoing transmission persists.
