Scope note: Especie de ENTEROVIRUS y agente causal de la POLIOMIELITIS humana. Existen tres serotipos (cepas). La transmisión se realiza por vía fecal-oral, por secreciones faríngeas, o por vectores mecánicos (moscas). Para lograr la inmunización efectiva frente a esta enfermedad son útiles las vacunas con virus inactivados y con virus vivos atenuados.

Scope note: A species of ENTEROVIRUS which is the causal agent of POLIOMYELITIS in humans. Three serotypes (strains) exist. Transmission is by the fecal-oral route, pharyngeal secretions, or mechanical vector (flies). Vaccines with both inactivated and live attenuated virus have proven effective in immunizing against the infection.
