ssRNA: poliovirus offers a detailed illustration of the known replication strategy of poliovirus inside an infected cell. Poliovirus belongs to the family Picornaviridae which contains many important human and animal pathogens causing diseases such as poliomyelitis. As poliomyelitis is one of the oldest recorded serious human diseases, poliovirus is one of the best studied viruses and has played an important role in the development of modern virology. It’s a positive single-stranded RNA virus and several stages of its replication process have been the subject of numerous scientific studies and debates in the past decades. The current video is illustrating only a selection of the most prominent theories.
