Jonas Salk's initial testing of polio vaccine is 60 - 70% effective against PV1 (poliovirus type 1, over 90% effective against PV2 and PV3, and 94% effective against the development of bulbar polio.

there are three different types of polio. 1. Spinal Polio 2. Bulbar Polio 3. Bulbospinal Polio.
Type 1 or Brunhilde - most common and was most often the cause of epidemics Type 2 or Lansing - least common Type 3 or Leon All three types are included in the vaccine.
There are 3 types of poliomyelitis (polio) infection: 1. Sub-clinical: does not affect the central nervous system and patients may not experience any symptoms 2. Non-paralytic: affects the central nervous system, produces mild symptoms, and does not result in paralysis 3. Paralytic: rarest and most serious and produces full or partial paralysis in the patient. There are 3 types of paralytic polio: 1. spinal polio (affects the spine) 2. bulbar polio (affects the brainstem) 3. bulbospinal polio (affects the spine and brainstem)
This type produces the classical image of a person whose legs have been paralyzed
No, it takes the polio virus to cause polio. The polio virus can be defeated by having a polio vaccination.
Causes of central sleep apnea include various severe and life-threatening lesions of the lower brainstem, which controls breathing. Examples include bulbar poliomyelitis , a form of polio affecting the brainstem.
