On the left is a schematic representation of the positive strand RNA genome of poliovirus. This is translated into a single polyprotein, which is then cleaved into a number of poliovirus proteins. In the upper right, a model of poliovirus is seen, with the four capsid proteins combining to form the elements of the virus capsid.
