The polio (poliomyelitis) virus mostly infects children under 5, and 1/200 infections causes permanent paralysis with 5-10% of those being fatal<ref name="polio-who">[https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/poliomyelitis Poliomyelitis Overview, World Health Organization].</ref>. Vaccines were developed in the 1950s<ref name="polio-vaccines">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio#Vaccine Polio Vaccines at Wikipedia].</ref>. Polio is nearly eradicated worldwide, but endemic pockets persist in regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan where vaccination campaigns are most challenging<ref name="polio-eradication">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio#Eradication Eradication of Polio in Wikipedia].</ref><ref name="polio-who" />. Polio was declared eradicated from the Americas in 1994, but in 2022 a live vaccine-derived strain of polio was found circulating in parts of New York State, USA<ref name="polio-usa">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio#Americas Polio in the Americas, Wikipedia].</ref>. Polio vaccination is urged for all children, and for unvaccinated adults<ref name="polio-vaccschedule">[https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/child-adolescent.html Vaccination Schedule, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention].</ref>.

The polio capsid has an icosahedral construction with 12 vertices defining 20 triangular faces. Notice that the larger blue mesas protruding on the surface have 5-fold symmetry. These are pentagonal capsomeres at the 12 vertices. The capsid is composed of 180 protein chains totaling about 377K non-H atoms.

Human Eastern Equine Encephalitis is rare, with only a few cases reported in the USA each year. However, 30% of patients die, and there is no vaccine for humans and no specific medication. Many survivors have ongoing neurologic problems. The virus is spread by the bites of mosquitos that fed on infected animals.<ref name="eeev-cdc">[https://www.cdc.gov/easternequineencephalitis/index.html Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus overview at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention].</ref><ref name="eeev-wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_equine_encephalitis Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus article in Wikipedia].</ref>
 
Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus is an alphavirus with a single-stranded RNA genome enclosed in an icosahedral protein capsid that includes a lipid bilayer envelope<ref name="alphavirus">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphavirus Alphavirus article in Wikipedia].</ref>. {{Template:EEEV}}
