Evaluating the Efficacy of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”sandy_brown” border_width=”3″ el_width=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1564073259210{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral disease caused by a virus of the Picornaviridae family, genus Aphthovirus. The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMD) is an important pathogen, in terms of biosecurity, due to its infectious nature and wide range of host animals, such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. YF outbreaks can have a severe impact on livestock production, causing morbidity, mortality, reduced production yields, and trade embargoes. NB4 laboratories studying AF must have robust biodecontamination methods to prevent inadvertent release of the virus. Formaldehyde has long been the main agent of environmental decontamination, but its designation as a human carcinogen has led to a search for alternatives.

In a recent article published in the American journal Applied Microbiology, the companies INOVA/CEVA, STEQ and BIOQUELL, came together for an experiment, with the aim of showing that the vapor of hydrogen peroxide at 35% has the potential to be an effective, fast and residue-free alternative against any and all viral particles of the foot-and-mouth disease virus.
