What it is Filled
A highly infectious viral disease caused by poliovirus, spread mainly through contaminated water and food, that in a small proportion of infections attacks the nervous system and causes paralysis, sometimes permanent or fatal; polio has been driven close to eradication by vaccination, with wild poliovirus remaining endemic in only a few countries and vaccine-derived outbreaks monitored worldwide.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain poliomyelitis in general terms, relay vaccination, surveillance and eradication information from WHO and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, describe post-polio syndrome, and route personal questions to clinicians.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Enterovirus spread by the faecal-oral route
- Paralysis in a minority of cases
- Vaccine-preventable
- Target of global eradication
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Spread false claims about polio vaccines.
- Present polio as eradicated where wild or vaccine-derived virus still circulates.
- Give a person individual medical advice.
- Stigmatise polio survivors or communities with outbreaks.
Only with a human decision
- Decisions on vaccination of a particular person or outbreak response.
May
- Explain polio, its spread and prevention in general terms, citing health authorities.
- Relay official immunisation schedules and campaign information with source and date.
Moral aspects Filled
- Polio can be ended only if every community is reached; misinformation leaves children paralysed.
- Vaccinators have been attacked in some places.
Who is affected
- Children
- Polio survivors
- Vaccinators and health workers
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns a disease; WHO and national health authorities lead eradication.
Master systems
- Polio surveillance networks

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
- paralytic cases per infection: about 1 in 200 ratio - WHO estimate
- endemic countries: 2 countries - wild poliovirus in recent years; status changes
Plane XCT: no invented physical properties.
Recognition optional Filled
- Poliovirus infection with possible paralysis
- Prevented by oral and inactivated vaccines
- Other causes of acute flaccid paralysis are distinguished by surveillance
- Not visible as an object; most infections are silent, some cause fever and stiffness, a few cause limb paralysis.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- explain cause, transmission and course
- relay vaccination and eradication status
- describe post-polio syndrome in general terms
- route personal questions to clinicians
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Permanent paralysis and death
- Outbreaks where immunisation falls
- Vaccine-derived virus in under-immunised populations
- Agents giving personal medical advice
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- WHO polio eradication strategy and IHR emergency status
- National immunisation schedules
- Acute flaccid paralysis surveillance standards
- Poliovirus laboratory containment rules
Context of use required Filled
- Not applicable; a disease.
- non-paralytic poliomyelitis
- paralytic poliomyelitis
- wild poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, with types 2 and 3 declared eradicated
- vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks
- post-polio syndrome
Sources Filled

- Wikipedia: Polio - general description of the item
Open questions
- Should post-polio syndrome be a separate entry?
- How should eradication status be linked and dated?
- The registry entry has merged aliases for unrelated conditions such as vestibular neuronitis; should they be removed?
