a Chlorine dioxide liquid at 100 ppm of total chlorine. b Carriers were wiped for 30 sec, and immediately transferred into a stomacher bag containing inactivation solution. c After 30 sec of wiping, the sheets were kept for 30 sec. Figures are shown as mean ± SE from replicated 3 times. Viral titer was measured for AIV as log10 TCID50/mL, and for IBV as log10PFU/mL. Single asterisk indicates effective viral reduction (≥3 log10TCID50/mL or log10PFU/mL). Viral titer <1.90 log10TCID50/mL and <2.10 log10PFU/mL indicates the virus was inactivated to undetectable level.
