Effect of disinfectants and drying on the virus of hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys

The virus of hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys was rendered uninfectious in 10 min by 0.175% sodium hypochlorite, 0.4% Chlorocide (Center Chemical Company), 0.4% Phenocide (Center Chemical Company), 0.4% Wescodyne (West Chemical Products), or 1.0% Lysol (Lehn and Fink Products Corporation), and by dr...

Description
Summary:The virus of hemorrhagic enteritis of turkeys was rendered uninfectious in 10 min by 0.175% sodium hypochlorite, 0.4% Chlorocide (Center Chemical Company), 0.4% Phenocide (Center Chemical Company), 0.4% Wescodyne (West Chemical Products), or 1.0% Lysol (Lehn and Fink Products Corporation), and by drying at 37 or 25 C for one week. The disinfectants were effective when 0.1% of viremic turkey serum was added to them, but were less effective or ineffective when the amount of serum was increased. Under the conditions of the experiment, 0.4% Zepharin Chloride (Winthrop Laboratories) did not reduce infectivity of the viremic serum.
