Inactivate animal and zoonotic viruses
Disinfectants are used to prevent the spread of animal and zoonotic diseases on agricultural businesses. Within European law and regulations, veterinary disinfectants are generally tested for their ability to inactivate bovine enterovirus type 1. This is a universal test that indicates the potency of the disinfectant to inactivate viruses in general, but does not provide information on the activity against the most relevant pathogens, like African swine fever, avian influenza and SARS-CoV-2. A claim against a specific virus could help in the usage of the right products at the right time and place, during an outbreak or preventing of an outbreak. WBVR is able to test you disinfectant against most animal and zoonotic viruses.
