What is poliovirus?
100

This percent of people infected with this virus do not show any symptoms

What is 95%?

100

The virus enters the body through this pathway

What is orally?

100

This is the route for the transmission of the virus

What is fecal-oral route?
100

These are the vaccines available for the poliovirus

What are the oral polio virus and inactivated polio virus?

200

This non-enveloped virus has this kind of genetic material.

What is positive single-stranded RNA?
200

This timeframe generally shows the presentation of symptoms for this virus

What is 6 to 20 days?

200

The virus enters through these tracts of the body

What are throat and intestinal?

200

The primary reservoir of infection for this virus is this organism

What are humans?

200

This vaccine, illegal in the US, is in this form.

What is an attenuated vaccine given by oral drops?

300

This virus inhabits these kind of tissues

What are intestinal, brain, and spinal cord tissues?
300

These most common symptoms include

What are fever, headache, nausea, and malaise?

300

This is where the virus may occasionally bind to motor neurons

What is the Central Nervous System?

300

Inhabitation of the intestinal tract permits this virus to be shed through this route.

What is feces?

300

This primary vaccine in the US is given by these means

What is an injection?
400

Upon entry, viral RNA is translated at this time

What is immediately upon entry?

400
These include extreme symptoms lasting up to 10 days in approximately 1% of infected cases, occasionally followed by paralysis

What are back pain and muscle spasms 

400

Within the cell body the virus may replicate and destroy these 

What are motor cells?

400

This serves as the portal of entry for this virus

What is the mouth?

400

These methods aid in the control of the spread of poliovirus.

What are proper sewage systems, sewage testing, and hygiene maintenance?

500

There are this many serotypes of this virus.

What is three?

500

This syndrome includes muscle pain, weakness, and degeneration in the 15 to 20 years after recovery from the acute infection

What is post-polio syndrome?

500

Degeneration of the motor neurons leads to this

Muscle weakness and paralysis

500
The virus may be translated via these routes of transmission.

What are horizontal, direct, and indirect transmission?

500

This human behavior can most help individuals stop the spread of this virus.

What is frequent handwashing?
