Virucidal efficacy of acidic electrolyzed water against African swine fever virus and avian influenza virus

Summary

Abstract

In South Korea, African swine fever virus (ASFV) was first detected at a farrow-to-finish farm, and it caused outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in 2019 [16]. In addition, a continuously evolving highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) has been identified since the first outbreak of the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) in 2003 [14]. The emergence of infectious animal disease viruses has had devastating economic consequences. Between 2013 and 2016, approximately 48 million livestock were killed in Korea in an attempt to prevent the spread of AI [8]

Reading this responsibly

Published figures are obtained under controlled conditions, usually on clean surfaces or in defined matrices. Organic load, surface condition, temperature and application coverage all affect real-world performance. Use these numbers to design a protocol, then validate it on your own site with environmental swabbing.

Applying it

Concentrations in this range are within the adjustable output of every EcoloxTech commercial system, so implementing this protocol is a settings question rather than a procurement one. Where the claim needs to sit on a registered label, see HOCl-AS200, EPA Reg. No. 101112-1.
