Inactivation of avian influenza virus using four common chemicals and one detergent.
Five disinfectant chemicals were tested individually for effectiveness against low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV), A/H7N2/Chick/MinhMa/04, on hard, nonporous surfaces. The tested agents included acetic acid, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and a powdered laundry detergent without bleach. Multiple common chemicals including acetic acid (1 and 3%), sodium hydroxide (2%), and calcium hydroxide (1%) effectively inactivated LPAIV on a metal surface. The laundry detergent without bleach, sodium carbonate (4%), and the lower concentration of sodium hydroxide (1%) were not able to consistently inactivate LPAIV on hard, nonporous surfaces.
