Nidia H De Jesus, 2007, "Epidemics to eradication: the modern history of poliomyelitis", Virology Journal, vol 4, 2007.
Within the article the author utilises several diagrams in order to examine the structure and genetic make-up of the virus. The process focuses however upon the main draw point of the article, which is the eradication effort; through the incorporation of vaccine technology. This article is useful for the research process, as it determines that the nature of the poliovirus is elusive and never will be considered fully 'eradicated' due to this fact. Through proving this, there is scope for new technology to be developed in order to help combat the remaining remnants of the virus. Furthermore the article finds that the pathogenesis of this virus, including the interactions of the virus with host factors that play in roles in the replication or translation process, needs to be adequately considered when deciding upon new technology. This knowledge and information will be prove to be useful in the research process, as it identifies that there is scope for the technological improvement of the preventative measures, against the poliovirus, and therefore should be taken in consideration.
