Immunity
Member of the picornavirus family, a large and diverse group of small RNA viruses characterized by a single positive-strand genomic RNA, icosahedral nonenveloped viruses that are approximately 30 nm in diameter[3]
Enteroviruses resist lipid solvents, ether, chloroform, and alcohol. They are inactivated at temperatures above 50°C but remain infectious at refrigerator temperature.[2]
