Poliovirus 🔍

Poliovirus is a virus that causes polio, a highly contagious disease primarily affecting children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old. It spreads through contaminated respiratory droplets from an infected person's mouth or coughing, which can infect other people in close contact with them. Polio affects the nervous system by damaging the spinal cord and causing paralysis, leaving individuals unable to walk and breathe normally.

Pbi1virus 🔍

Pbi1virus is a type of virus that belongs to the family of retroviruses, specifically the poliovirus genus. It is responsible for causing preeclampsia and other complications during pregnancy. The virus can infect pregnant women and their fetuses, leading to serious health issues.

Polivirales 🔍

Polivirales are a family of organisms that includes several groups that produce poliovirus, which is a type of viral respiratory illness caused by a member of this family. These viruses are known for causing severe and often fatal infections in children, particularly those under 5 years old. The term "poliviral" refers to the virus itself, as it is primarily produced by these polioviruses.

Deltarhabdovirinae 🔍

Deltarhabdoviridae is a group of viruses that belong to the family Doliviridae, which includes the deltavirus family. This group encompasses various types of rabies virus, including the deltavirus, canine deltavirus, and the canine poliovirus, among others.

Poliocephalus 🔍

Poliocephalus is a condition characterized by an abnormal head, typically caused by poliovirus infection. It primarily affects children under the age of six years, often leading to developmental delays and intellectual disabilities.

Variarterivirinae 🔍

Variaterivirinae is a group of viruses that includes RNA viruses (herpesviruses, adenoviruses) and DNA viruses (poliovirus, influenza virus).

Polio 🔍

Polio is a viral disease caused by a virus called poliovirus, which can cause paralysis in the brain or spinal cord and results in severe inflammation of the body's immune system. It primarily affects children under two years old and can be transmitted through contaminated water or droplets from an infected person. The symptoms typically include fever, convulsions (spasticity), cramps, loss of bowel control, difficulty breathing, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abdominal

Polioptilinae 🔍

Polioptilinae is a group of insects that belong to the family Cetoniidae, which includes some species known for their ability to infect humans with poliovirus, commonly referred to as poliomyelitis.

Polerovirus 🔍

Poliovirus is a virus that causes polio, a highly contagious viral disease primarily affecting children in developing countries. It can cause paralysis and long-term neurological damage, particularly in young children. The virus has been linked to childhood obesity, respiratory infections, and increased risk of other diseases such as cancer.
