The pathogen responsible for poliomyelitis is the poliovirus, which is a type of enterovirus. It primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route, and can infect the gastrointestinal tract before spreading to the nervous system, leading to paralysis in severe cases. Vaccination through the polio vaccine has been successful in reducing the incidence of polio worldwide.

Enteroviruses are a group of viruses that primarily affect the gastrointestinal tract but can also cause respiratory and neurological symptoms. They are transmitted through close contact with an infected person, contaminated surfaces, or through fecal-oral transmission. Enteroviruses can lead to mild symptoms like the common cold or more severe illnesses such as meningitis or encephalitis.
