Polio is a childhood disease that causes infantile paralysis. It is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis and can be prevented through vaccination.

iVDPV stands for immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus. It refers to a rare strain of the poliovirus that can emerge in individuals with certain types of immune deficiencies, such as those with primary immunodeficiency disorders. iVDPV can potentially cause paralysis similar to wild poliovirus.

Warning signs of polio include flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, headache, vomiting, fatigue, and muscle stiffness. As the disease progresses, muscle weakness or paralysis can occur, usually affecting the legs. In severe cases, polio can lead to respiratory or swallowing difficulties.

No, fungi do not cause polio. Polio is caused by the poliovirus, which infects the nervous system. Fungi are a different type of microorganism and are not associated with poliovirus infections.

The poliovirus, a member of the Enterovirus genus, is the organism responsible for causing polio. It primarily affects the nervous system and can lead to paralysis.

The oral polio vaccine was formulated by Dr. Albert Sabin. He developed the vaccine in the 1950s as an alternative to the injectable polio vaccine created by Dr. Jonas Salk.

Polio is still found in a few countries in Asia and Africa where vaccination rates are low. Global efforts to eradicate polio are ongoing to ensure that it is no longer a threat anywhere in the world.

Polio is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route, meaning the virus is spread through contact with infected feces. It can also be transmitted through contaminated food or water. In rare cases, polio can be spread through respiratory secretions or saliva.

How does a person's body fight off polio

Dr. Jonas Salk

Poliomyelitis Vaccine.

I don't think they're are any other names to it than that and the "Polio Vaccine"

It can be done by OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine) or through inoculation (Dead Polio Virus is injected into your body).

This immunization is known to have side effects.

Vaccination can produce reactions ranging from a transient and minor skin irritation and allergic reaction to some components of the oral vaccine to paralysis

Poliomyelitis is considered a virus, which is not located in a domain. It is not, because viruses are considered non-living. But viruses are classified in phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

Polo was diagnosed in 1789, the immunization is preventive treatment. Once diagnosed with polo the immunization does not help.

1984

Poliomyletis virus

No. It is a set of neurologic symptoms which exist long after polio, itself, is experienced by the sufferer.

The answer depends on whether you want the ratio of people in the US with polio compared to people with polio in the rest of the world (or the whole world), or the compared to people without polio in the US.

The older one is, the more likely polio will exhibit serious symptoms like paralysis.

Not specifically. But sewage contaminated water might contain virus if the disease is active in the area. It can easily be spread from person to person by contact, sneezing, coughing, etc.

It usually affects your legs or arms, but in some rare cases can affect speaking, swallowing, and breathing.

Polio, also known as poliomyelitis, affects the grey matter of the spinal cord, which is the inner part of the cord.

The industrialized countries of the world have fewer cases of polio because there are many more vaccinated individuals.
