The poliovirus comes in three different serotypes: poliovirus 1 (PV1), poliovirus 2 (PV2), or poliovirus 3 (PV3). These viruses are non-enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA. The poliovirus is a member of the picornavirus family which includes a significant number of pathogens for humans and livestock. This virus is very small and consists of an icosahedral protein coat.

The 7500 nucleotide single-strand RNA genome of poliovirus contains one long open reading frame which is translated into a 247 kDa polyprotein. | ||
