Picornavirus
• Represent a very large virus family with respect to the number of members but one of the smallest in terms of virion size & genetic complexity
• Includes two major groups of human pathogens: Enteroviruses and Rhinoviruses
• Also known as the “foot and mouth disease virus”

Properties of Picornaviruses• Icosahedral, 28-30 nm in diameter, contains 60 subunits each of
four proteins
• Composed of RNA (30%), Protein (70%)
• No envelope
• Made up of many enterovirus and rhinovirus types that infect humans and lower animals causing various illnesses ranging from poliomyelitis to aseptic meningitis to the common cold
• Replication occurs in the cytoplasm

Enterovirus
• A genus of positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses associated with several human and mammalian diseases
• Often found in respiratory secretions and stool of an infected person

Transmission of Poliovirus
• Ingestion
• The mouth is the portal of entry and multiplication takes place in the oropharynx or intestine

Coxsackievirus
• One of the leading causes of aseptic meningitis
• Causes paralysis but since it is incomplete, it is reversible
• Has two types: Group A and Group B Coxsackievirus
• Both groups A and B cause nonspecific febrile illness, rashes, upper respiratory tract disease and aseptic meningitis

Group A Coxsackievirus
• Tend to infect the skin and mucous membranes
• Causes Herpangina, acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis and hand-foot-mouth disease

Group B Coxsackievirus
• Tend to infect the heart, pleura, pancreas and liver
• Causes pleurodynia, myocarditis, pericarditis, and hepatitis
