1. poliovirus

   Poliovirus is a single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Enterovirus and the family Picornaviridae. It is known for causing poliomyelitis, a disease in humans that can lead to paralysis. There are three different strains of the virus, each of which can cause the disease but provide immunity only to that particular strain. The virus is typically spread through the fecal-oral route, but it can also be transmitted through contaminated water or food. Poliovirus is the target of worldwide eradication efforts through extensive vaccination programs.

1. Poliovirus

   Poliovirus, the causative agent of poliomyelitis, is a human enterovirus and member of the family of Picornaviridae. Poliovirus is composed of an RNA genome and a protein capsid. The genome is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome that is about 7500 nucleotides long. The viral particle is about 30 nanometres in diameter with icosahedral symmetry. Because of its short genome and its simple composition—only RNA and a non-enveloped icosahedral protein coat that encapsulates it—poliovirus is widely regarded as the simplest significant virus. Poliovirus was first isolated in 1909 by Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper. In 1981, the poliovirus genome was published by two different teams of researchers: by Vincent Racaniello and David Baltimore at MIT and by Naomi Kitamura and Eckard Wimmer at Stony Brook University. Poliovirus is one of the most well-characterized viruses, and has become a useful model system for understanding the biology of RNA viruses.

1. Poliovirus

   A species of ENTEROVIRUS which is the causal agent of POLIOMYELITIS in humans. Three serotypes (strains) exist. Transmission is by the fecal-oral route, pharyngeal secretions, or mechanical vector (flies). Vaccines with both inactivated and live attenuated virus have proven effective in immunizing against the infection.
