    The Stage of Infection and Pathogenesis ofPoliomyelitis

    First, the virus is ingested and carried to the throatand intestinal mucosa.

    The virus then multiplies in the tonsils. Smallnumber escapes to the regional lymph nodes andblood.

    The viruses are further amplified and cross intocertain nerve cells of the spinal column and CNS.

    Last, the intestine actively sheds viruses.
