They spread mainly via fecal-oral route and respiratory droplets. Symptoms range from fever and rash to severe neurological conditions. Treatment is symptomatic, with emphasis on hydration and pain relief. Prevention involves good hygiene and sanitation practices, as specific antiviral treatments are limited. Vaccines are available only for poliovirus. Welcome to Infection Navigator, a dedicated YouTube channel that explores the fascinating and complex realm of infectious diseases. Our mission is to provide accurate, up-to-date, and engaging information about a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. With the help of experts in the field, we aim to raise awareness about the prevention, detection, and treatment of these diseases while addressing public health concerns.
