Polio

Yes, Earl Hamner Jr.'s mother, Doris Hamner, contracted polio when she was a young girl. This condition influenced Earl's writing and the portrayal of family life in his works, particularly in "The Waltons," where themes of resilience and family bonds are prominent. Her experiences and challenges helped shape the values and stories he shared through his characters.

There is no natural remedy for polio; the most effective prevention is vaccination. While some natural treatments may support overall health, they cannot cure or prevent viral infections like polio. The best approach is to follow public health guidelines and ensure vaccination to protect against the disease. If you suspect polio or experience symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

The polio virus is a non-enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus and cannot be classified using the Gram stain. Gram staining is used to differentiate bacteria based on their cell wall structure, which viruses like polio do not possess.

Poliovirus enters the body through the mouth, infecting the first cells with which it comes in contact-the pharynx and intestinal mucosa. It gains entry by binding to an immunoglobulin-like receptor, known as the poliovirus receptor or CD155, on the cell membrane.[28] The virus then hijacks the host cell's own machinery, and begins to replicate. Poliovirus divides within gastrointestinal cells for about a week, from where it spreads to the tonsils (specifically the follicular dendritic cells residing within the tonsilar germinal centers), the intestinal lymphoid tissue including the M cells of Peyer's patches, and the deep cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes, where it multiplies abundantly. The virus is subsequently absorbed into the bloodstream.[29]

Known as viremia, the presence of virus in the bloodstream enables it to be widely distributed throughout the body. Poliovirus can survive and multiply within the blood and lymphatics for long periods of time, sometimes as long as 17 weeks.[30] In a small percentage of cases, it can spread and replicate in other sites, such as brown fat, the reticuloendothelial tissues, and muscle.[31] This sustained replication causes a major viremia, and leads to the development of minor influenza-like symptoms. Rarely, this may progress and the virus may invade the central nervous system, provoking a local inflammatory response. In most cases, this causes a self-limiting inflammation of the meninges, the layers of tissue surrounding the brain, which is known as nonparalytic aseptic meningitis.[2] Penetration of the CNS provides no known benefit to the virus, and is quite possibly an incidental deviation of a normal gastrointestinal infection.[32] The mechanisms by which poliovirus spreads to the CNS are poorly understood, but it appears to be primarily a chance event-largely independent of the age, gender, or socioeconomic position of the individual.[32]

D. polio

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= infective vaccine derived poliovirus

cVDPV= circulating vaccine derived poliovirus

aVDPV= ambiguous vaccine derived poliovirus

They are caused by a mutation regaining virulence in the attenuated poliovirus strains (Sabin 1-3) used for the oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV). Not sure of the specific difference between regressed strains though.

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.

poliovirus the causative agent of poliomylitis. it consists of three serotypes named type 1,2,3 and belong to enteroviruses group.inf. occurs through nasopharynx.

Albert Sabin founded the oral polio vaccine and the vaccine was licensed in 1962.

It used to be, before a vaccine was developed for it. It was then eradicated down to only 4 countries, all in Africa. People in those countries were opposed to the vaccine. Now it has expanded back out to roughly a dozen countries.

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.)

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.
