The pathogen responsible for poliomyelitis is the poliovirus, which is a type of enterovirus. It primarily spreads through the fecal-oral route, and can infect the gastrointestinal tract before spreading to the nervous system, leading to paralysis in severe cases. Vaccination through the polio vaccine has been successful in reducing the incidence of polio worldwide.
