-What is the transmission of the polio virus?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transmission of the polio virus is primarily through the fecal-oral route, which means that the virus spreads through contact with contaminated fecal matter, usually by ingesting contaminated water or food. Arthropod-borne diseases are spread by insects, bats can transmit diseases such as rabies, and unsanitary food can lead to various gastrointestinal infections, but none of these modes of transmission are relevant to polio.
