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
