Pathogen Inactivation

Pathogen Inactivation

Research Question

  • Determine how long the virus remain viable in the carcasses and the environment
  • Ways to inactivate pathogens under various conditions

Research Gaps and Challenges

  • Maximum length of time to compost based on environmental temperature and initial viral load
  • Determine the optimal waiting time for operational safety before rendering
  • Cost effectiveness of methods: definition for each virus strain and matrix

Solution Routes

  • Determine the best method to compost
  • Methods to measure viral inactivation
  • Models to evaluate the efficacy of pathogen inactivation using various strategies
  • Virus strain and matrix: can we find easier ways?
  • Models to reduce environmental contamination and track reduction

Dependencies

  • Ways to study pathogens in field conditions without select agent issues or spread
