Chlorine Inactivation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1)

Chlorine Inactivation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1)

To determine resistance of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) virus to chlorination, we exposed allantoic fluid containing 2 virus strains to chlorinated buffer at pH 7 and 8, at 5°C. Free chlorine concentrations typically used in drinking water treatment are sufficient to inactivate the virus...
