Which type of vaccine is made from a living microbe with reduced virulence?

A live-attenuated vaccine is made from a living microbe that has been weakened or attenuated to reduce its virulence. This type of vaccine mimics a natural infection, stimulating a strong immune response without causing severe illness. Examples include the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and oral polio vaccines.


What is the pathogen of poliomyelitis?

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.


How is polio transmitted from one organism to another?

The polio is transmitted through either fecal-oral or oral-oral transmission. In fecal-oral, a non-infected person comes in contact with the stool of someone with the virus. In oral-oral, a non-infected person comes in contact with the respiratory droplets or saliva of an infected person(sneezing...ect.)


Is polio found all over the world?
