- Poliomyelitis (polio) - World Health Organization (WHO)
Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that largely affects children under 5 years of age The virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through the faecal-oral route or, less frequently, by a common vehicle (e g contaminated water or food) and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can invade the nervous system and cause paralysis

The development of effective vaccines to prevent paralytic polio was one of the major medical breakthroughs of the 20th century The Global Polio Eradication Initiative uses two types of vaccine to stop polio transmission – inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and oral polio vaccine (OPV) If enough people in a community are immunized against polio, the virus will be deprived of susceptible hosts
