Multiple host barriers, including the interferon response and physical barriers in the gut, restrict poliovirus trafficking and limit viral population diversity, potentially explaining the rare occurrence of CNS invasion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Host barriers may limit poliovirus neuroinvasion in models; leaves open their role in rare human CNS invasion.
Kuss et al. (2008) studied this question.
