Wild poliovirus is one of the three types of poliovirus that can cause poliomyelitis, a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects children and can lead to paralysis or even death. It is transmitted through the fecal-oral route, often through contaminated water or food. Efforts to eradicate wild poliovirus have been ongoing through vaccination campaigns, significantly reducing its prevalence worldwide. As of now, it remains endemic in only a few countries.
