  • Title: Evaluation of chemical disinfectants for aleutian disease virus of mink.
    Author: Shen DT, Leendertsen LW, Gorham JR.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1981 May; 42(5):838-40. PubMed ID: 6266294.
    Abstract:
    Nine chemicals and commercial disinfectants were tested for inactivation of Aleutian disease virus of mink. In the presence of distilled water, a commercial disinfectant (O-Syl), halogen derivatives (iodophor and sodium hypochlorite), and glutaraldehyde (2.0%) inactivated 4 log10 (based on 0.25 ml) of the virus within 10 minutes at 23 C. Formalin (2.0%) and O-Syl were slower to inactivate the virus, but achieved a 4 log10 reduction in titer by 30 minutes' contact time. In the presence of 10% bovine serum, formalin (1.0%), O-Syl, and sodium hydroxide (0.5%) achieved a 4 log10 reduction within 10 minutes. All agents tested had some virucidal effect.
