#1 Can polio exist without a human host? How long and where can it survive without such a host? Why couldn't it be eliminated from the gene pool, like smallpox (except for lab specimens?)

#2 Good question, Glenmore. I have a clear recollection of a report from 30 or 40 years ago that polio was endemic in chimpanzees. But I have heard nothing since along those lones.
