Key result
Coxsackie A7 virus (the Russian 'Poliovirus Type 4') is pathogenic in monkeys, producing CNS lesions indistinguishable from those caused by polioviruses.
The study identifies the Russian Type 4 poliovirus as Coxsackie A7, which is capable of causing polio-like CNS lesions in monkeys.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Does not alter human polio diagnostics or vaccines; leaves open Coxsackie A7's role in human CNS disease.
The Russian Type 4 polio-virus is Coxsackie A7. 2. The Russian virus is capable of causing polio-type lesions in the monkey CNS. 3. American strains of Coxsackie A7 are likewise pathogenic for monkeys and in certain inoculated animals produce histological changes in the CNS which are indistinguishable from those caused by polioviruses. 4. Coxsackie A7 infections are probably prevalent in the U.S.

Habel et al. (1957) studied Coxsackie A7 / Poliovirus Type 4 infection. Coxsackie A7 virus inoculation was evaluated on Histological changes in the CNS (polio-type lesions). Coxsackie A7 virus (the Russian 'Poliovirus Type 4') is pathogenic in monkeys, producing CNS lesions indistinguishable from those caused by polioviruses.
