Years after recovery, post-polio syndrome may occur, with a slow development of muscle weakness similar to what the person had during the initial infection. Polio occurs naturally only in humans.

Those who are infected may spread the disease for up to six weeks even if no symptoms are present. The disease may be diagnosed by ...
