The species Poliovirus contains three
serotypes, PV-1 to PV-3. Here is a list of the
prototype strains.
A recent taxonomic proposal submitted to the ICTV to move
the three polioviruses into the Human enterovirus C
species has been accepted by the Executive Committee and awaits
ratification by the ICTV membership. A second proposal, to make
Human enterovirus C the type species for the family, has
similarly been accepted.
Once ratified these changes will be reflected in the
organization of these web pages. |
