(>1 ans) Which of the following statements is/are correct? Hepatitis A viral infection will result in long-lasting immunity against subsequent infection. For disinfection of enteroviruses, such as hand-foot-mouth disease viruses, acidic disinfectant is effective. Prior rotaviral infection may not prevent subsequent infection of the same virus. For poliovirus and enterovirus-71, both neutralizing antibodies and cellular immunity are critical for defending the host against the pathogens. There is an effective vaccine available for noroviral infection due to its availability of animal models.
