[Early steps of picornavirus infection].
Picornaviridae is a large family of viruses that cause a variety of infectious diseases in humans and animals. It includes important viruses such as poliovirus, hepatisis A virus and foot and mouth disease virus. Early steps of infection play important roles in determining the host range and the target organs for each virus. Here, I review the recent advances in the studies of cellular receptors for picornaviruses, mechanisms of cell entry and viral uncoating.
