PoliovirusThree serotypes of poliovirus (1, 2, and 3) but no commonantigen.
Have identical physical properties but only share 36-52%nucleotide homology.
Humans are the only susceptible hosts
Polioviruses are distributed globally
The availability of immunization and the polioviruseradication campaign has eradicated poliovirus in mostregions of the world except in the Indian Subcontinent andAfrica.

PathogenesisThe incubation period is usually 7 - 14 days.
Following ingestion, the virus multiplies in the oropharyngeal andintestinal mucosa.
The lymphatic system, in particular the tonsils and the Peyer's patches of the ileum are invaded and the virus enters the bloodresulting in a transient viraemia
In a minority of cases,the virus may involve the CNS followingdissemination.

Clinical ManifestationsThere are 3 possible outcomes of infection:
Subclinical infection (90 - 95%) - inapparent subclinical infection account for thevast majority of poliovirus infections
Abortive infection (4 - 8%) - a minor influenza-like illness occurs, recoveryoccurs within a few days and the diagnosis can only be made by the laboratory
The minor illness may be accompanied by aseptic meningitisMajor illness (1 - 2%) (poliomyelitis) - the major illness may present 2 - 3 daysfollowing the minor illness or without any preceding minor illness.
Signs of aseptic meningitis are common. Involvement of the anterior horncells lead to flaccid paralysis .
Involvement of the medulla may lead to respiratory paralysis and death.

Prevention contd.. No specific antiviral therapy is availableHowever, the disease may be prevented throughvaccination
There are two vaccines availableIntramuscular Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV)
Consists of formalin inactivated virus of all 3 poliovirus
serotypesProduces serum antibodies only: does not induce localimmunity and thus will not prevent local infection of the gutHowever, it will prevent paralytic poliomyelitis sinceviraemia is essential for the pathogenesis of the disease.

Prevention contd.. Oral Poliovirus Vaccine (OPV)
Consists of live attenuated virus of all 3 serotypesProduces local immunity through the induction of an IgA response as well as systemic immunity.Rarely causes paralytic poliomyelitis, around 1 in 3
million doses.

Prevention contd. Most countries use OPV because of its ability to inducelocal immunity
The normal response rate to OPV is close to 100%.
OPV is used for the WHO poliovirus eradication campaign.
Poliovirus was targeted for eradication by the WHO by theend of year 2000

CoxsackievirusesCoxsackieviruses are distinguished from other enteroviruses by their pathogenicityfor suckling rather than adult mice
They are divided into 2 groups on the basis of the lesions observed in sucklingmice.
Group A produce a variety of illness like herpangina (vesicular pharyngitis),hand-foot-and-mouth disease and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.
Group B causes pleurodynia (epidemic myalgia), myocarditis, pericarditis,meningoencephalitis and severe generalized disease of children
Group A and B may also cause aseptic meningitis, respiratory andundifferentiated febrile illnesses, hepatitis and paralysis
Paralysis produced by non polioviruses is incomplete and reversible
Coxsackie B viruses are most commonly identified agents of viral heart
disease

EchovirusesThe first echoviruses were accidentally discovered in human faeces,unassociated with human disease during epidemiological studies of
polioviruses.
The viruses were named echoviruses ( Enteric, Cytopathic, Human,Orphan viruses).
These viruses were produced CPE in cell cultures, but did not inducedetectable pathological lesions in suckling mice.
Altogether, there are 32 echoviruses (types 1-34; echovirus 10 and 28 were found to be other viruses and thus the numbers are unused)
There is no group echovirus Ag but heterotypic cross-reactions occur between a few pairs.

New Enteroviruses Newly identified picornaviruses that are not polioviruses
No longer classified separated into the species coxsackie andechovirus because of the ambiguities presented by overlapping host
range variations.
Four new enteroviruses have been identified (68 - 72).
Enterovirus 70 is the causative agent epidemics of acute
haemorrhagic conjunctivitis
That swept through Africa, Asia, India and Europe from 1969 to1974. The virus is occasionally neurovirulent.

New Enteroviruses contd Enterovirus 71 appears to be highly pathogenic
Associated with epidemics of a variety of acute diseases
Aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis-likedisease and hand-foot-mouth disease.
Enterovirus 72 was originally assigned to hepatitis Avirus,
But it had now been assigned to a new family calledheptoviruses

Laboratory DiagnosisVirus Isolation
Mainstay of diagnosis of enterovirus infectionCoxsackie B and Echoviruses can be readily grown in cell culture fromthroat swabs, faeces, and rectal swabs. They can also be isolated from theCSFCoxsackie A viruses cannot be easily isolated in cell culture.
Molecular techniques may provide a better alternative
SerologyVery rarely used for diagnosis since cell culture is efficient.
Neutralization tests or EIAs are used but are very cumbersome and thusnot offered by most diagnostic laboratories

Treatment and PreventionThere is no specific antiviral therapy available against enterovirusesother than polio.
Some authorities use IVIG (Immune globulin) in the treatment of neonatal infections or severe infections in immunocompromisedindividuals. However, the efficacy is uncertain.
HNIG (Human normal immunoglobulin) have been to preventoutbreaks of neonatal infection with good results.
There is no vaccine available mainly because of the multiplicity of serotypes. There is little interest in developing a vaccine except againstenterovirus 71 and coxsackie B viruses.

Pathogenesis and pathology Virus enters via upper respiratory tract
High titers of virus in nasal secretions are found after 2-4days of infection
After that virus titer falls but illness persists
Replication is limited to surface epithelium of nasal mucosa
It may lead to edema and mild cellular infiltration
Nasal secretion increases in quantity and in proteinconcentration
It may occasionally infect lower respiratory tract

AstrovirusesSmall RNA viruses, ss +, none- enveloped, named becauseof star-shaped surface morphology, 28 nm in diameter.
Associated with cases of endemic gastroenteritis, usually inyoung children and neonatesCan cause occasional outbreaks.
Responsible for up to 10% of cases of gastroenteritis.
Similar disease to rota and adenoviruses.
Most people have antibodies by the age of three
Diagnosed by electron microscopy only, often very difficultbecause of small size.
