Poliovirus is usually contracted by the fecal-oral route‚ but sometimes infects by the oral-oral route.

The cost of treatment for polio would range from P200-P2‚600 per day‚ depending upon the degree of involvement. Polio can only be prevented by immunization. This disease is caused by three types of poliovirus. Poliovirus is a member of the enterovirus subgroup‚ family Picornaviridae.

that most often involves the legs. Bulbar polio leads to weakness of muscles innervated by cranial nerves. Bulbospinal polio is a combination of bulbar and spinal paralysis. III: Poliomyelitis is caused by infection with a member of the genus Enterovirus known as poliovirus (PV). This group of RNA viruses colonize the gastrointestinal tract‚ specifically the oropharynx and the intestine. The incubation time (to the first signs and symptoms) ranges from three to 35 days‚ with a more common span of

Both options allow us to take water that was previously thought unusable and to change it into potable water. These options allow us to eliminate chemicals‚ microorganisms and disease from water such as cholera‚ e-coli‚ cryptosporidium‚ giardia‚ enterovirus‚ and many more including metals. There are pros and cons to both treatment processes and we will go over them in the next few paragraphs. Chlorine is the widest used process in water disinfection.
