What is Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly
infectious viral disease, which mainly affects young children. The virus is transmitted through contaminated food and water, and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can invade the nervous system.
POLIOMYLETIS.
Involves CNS,
produces serious Illness. Causes Destruction of Motor Neurons in Spinal cord. Produces FLACID PARALYSIS. India has still has many cases of Poliomyelitis.
Polio An Enterovirus
Poliovirus, the causative agent of
poliomyelitis, is a human enterovirus and member of the family of Picornaviridae.Poliovirus is composed of a RNA genome and a protein capsid. The genome is single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome that is about 7500 nucleotides long. The viral particle is about 300 ngstrm in diameter with icosahedral symmetry.

by Jakob Heine in 1840. Its causative agent, poliovirus, was identified in 1908 by Karl Landsteiner.[Although major polio epidemics were unknown before the late 19th century, polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th century. Polio epidemics have crippled thousands of people, mostly young children; the disease has caused paralysis and death for much of human history. Polio had existed for thousands of years quietly as an endemic pathogen until the 1880s, when major epidemics began to occur in Europe; soon after, widespread epidemics appeared in the United States.

It cause paralysis?
Paralytic disease occurs 0.1% to 1% of
those who become infected with the polio virus. Paralysis of the respiratory muscles or from cardiac arrest if the neurons in the medulla oblongata are destroyed. Patients have some or full recovery from paralysis usually apparent with proximally 6 months Physical therapy is recommended for full recovery.

Spinal polio
Spinal polio is the most
common form of paralytic poliomyelitis; it results from viral invasion of the motor neurons of the anterior horn cells, or the ventral (front) gray matter section in the spinal column, Virus invasion causes inflammation of the nerve cells, leading to damage or destruction of motor neuron ganglia.

Making up about 2% of
cases of paralytic polio, bulbar polio occurs when poliovirus invades and destroys nerves within the bulbar region of the brain stem. nerves weakens the muscles supplied by the cranial nerves, producing symptoms of encephalitis,

then of delegates from 166 Member States, adopted a resolution for the worldwide eradication of polio. It marked the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and UNICEF. This followed the certification of the eradication of smallpox in 1980, progress during the 1980s towards elimination of the poliovirus in the Americas, and Rotary Internationals commitment to raise funds to protect all children from the disease.

One of the major steps in achieving the goal for zero Polio
children in any state or region is the introduction of Pulse Polio immunization program. This Pulse Polio immunization programme is one of the most sophisticated plans which also got a huge success in our country regarding the targets. These introduced Pulse Polio immunization programme are also proving the best methods to eradicate this disease from its origin too. Moreover according to the scales of years, in 2000 it was measured by the general surveys as the largest effort recorded with these camps and spreading awareness through this Pulse Polio immunization program.

SNIDs took place beginning 26 June in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar,
Delhi and parts of West Bengal and other high-risk areas. The next SIAs will be SNIDs using bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV) in August.
India has also gone eight months without detecting any wild
