the poliovirus requires a host to survive. Humans are the primary hosts for the virus and the virus is extremely transmittable by way of person-person contact (most commonly fecal-oral contact). Although the virus is extremely contagious‚ the human immune response can be considered a very worthy advisory in fighting polio. Most of those infected will not experience any symptoms‚ and only a very small percentage of those who do will develop paralysis from the virus. There are three known strands of
