    What is Poliomyelitis

    Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly

    infectious viral disease, which

    mainly affects young children. Thevirus is transmitted through

    contaminated food and water, and

    multiplies in the intestine, from

    where it can invade the nervous

    system.

    Polio An Enterovirus

    Poliovirus, the causative agent ofpoliomyelitis, is a human enterovirus andmember of the family of

    Picornaviridae.Poliovirus is composed of aRNA genome and a protein capsid. Thegenome is single-stranded positive-senseRNA genome that is about 7500 nucleotides

    long. The viral particle is about 300ngstrm in diameter with icosahedralsymmetry.

    What is Poliomyelitis? polio= gray matter

    Myelitis= inflammation of the spinal cord

    This disease result in the destruction ofmotor neurons caused by the poliovirus.

    Polio is causes by a virus that attacks the

    nerve cells of the brain & spinal cordalthough not all infections result in sever

    injuries and paralysis.

    Early cases Poliomyelitis wasrecorded in the late

    1700s with the first

    epidemic in the late1800s.

    The cases that were

    reported in 1979 where

    mild and self-limited

    and do not result in

    paralysis.

    Documented History of Polio Poliomyelitis was first recognized as a distinct condition

    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 childhooddiseases 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 yearsquietly 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% ofthose who become infected with the poliovirus.

    Paralysis of the respiratory muscles or fromcardiac arrest if the neurons in the medullaoblongata are destroyed.

    Patients have some or full recovery fromparalysis usually apparent with proximally 6months

    Physical therapy is recommended for full

    recovery.

    How is polio transmitted? Poliovirus is transmitted

    through both oral and

    fecal routes with

    implantation andreplication occurring in

    either the orapgaryngeal

    and or in the intestine of

    mucosa. Polio cases aremost infected for 7-10

    days before and after

    clinical symptoms begin.

    Spinal polio Spinal polio is the mostcommon form ofparalytic poliomyelitis; itresults from viral

    invasion of the motorneurons of the anteriorhorn cells, or the ventral(front) gray mattersection in the spinal

    column, Virus invasioncauses inflammation ofthe nerve cells, leadingto damage or destructionof motor neuron ganglia.

    Treating Polio cases There is no cure for polio. The focus of modern

    treatment has been on providing relief of

    symptoms, speeding recovery and preventing

    complications. Supportive measures includeantibiotics to prevent infections in weakened

    muscles, analgesics for pain, moderate exercise

    and a nutritious diet. Treatment of polio often

    requires long-term rehabilitation, includingphysical therapy, braces, corrective shoes and, in

    some cases, orthopedic surgery

    Launch

    In 1988, the forty-first World Health Assembly, consistingthen 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 Poliochildren 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 countryregarding 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.

    INDIA DECLARES A POLIO FREENATION

    India, which was declared polio-free in

    February 2012, is perhaps the best

    example of how a fully funded program

    driven by committed leaders and dedicatedworkers can achieve success. India was

    long considered the most difficult place to

    end polio due to its population density, highrates of migration, poor sanitation, high

    birth rates, and low rates of routine

    immunization.
