Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is the causative agent of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) and causes a considerable economic loss in swine industry. In this study, the virucidal efficacy of the disinfectant composed to n-alkyl-dimethyl-benzyl-ammonium chloride (n-ADBAC) was investigated against PEDV. A virucidal efficacy was determined with the viability of PEDV contacted with the disinfectant in Vero cells. The disinfectant and PEDV were reacted on the hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) condition. On HW condition, PEDV was inactivated with 50 fold dilutions of the disinfectant. When the antiviral effect on OM condition was evaluated, the antiviral activity of the disinfectant showed on 10 fold dilutions against PEDV. As the disinfectant possesses the virucidal efficacy against PEDV, the disinfectant solution can be used to limit the spread of animal viral diseases.

In this study, the virucidal efficacy of a fumigant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was examined. After each carrier deposited with CSFV and PRRSV suspensions was exposed to the fumigant in a $25-m^3$ test room for 15 h, all carriers were neutralized and diluted, and each diluted suspension was inoculated into each proper cell line. After incubation, CSFV and PRRSV viability in each cell line was examined and 50% tissue culture infectious dose $(TCID_{50})/mL$ was calculated. In the results, the concentration of viable virus in all of pathogen control-carriers was more than $2{\times}10^5TCID_{50}/mL$, and there were no cytotoxicity in all of toxicity control-carriers. In addition, the fumigant inactivated ${\geq}4.8{\log}_{10}(TCID_{50}/mL)$ of both CSFV and PRRSV. These findings will be useful for preventing the spread of CSFV and PRRSV infection.

본 연구에서는 4급 암모늄에 속하는 quaternary ammonium chloride와 구연산의 합제인 Citra-$Kill^{(R)}$의 조류인플루엔자에 대한 살바이러스 효과를 확인하기 위해 국립수의과학검역원의 소독제 효력시험 중 바이러스 소독제 효력시험에 따라 수행하였다. 소독제와 조류인플루엔자바이러스를 증류수, 경수, 그리고 유기물 조건에서 반응시킨 후, 중화액을 이용하여 중화시킨 다음, 중화된 용액 0.2 ml를 10일령의 계태아 요막에 주입하여 5일 동안 배양시킨 다음, 요막액을 채취하여 바이러스의 생존여부를 혈구응집반응을 통해 확인하여 소독제의 효력배수를 결정하였다. 본 연구의 결과, Citra-$Kill^{(R)}$은 증류수, 경수, 그리고 유기물 조건에서 각각 2,000, 1,500, 그리고 500배에서 조류인플루엔자바이러스를 불활성화시켜, 조류인플루엔자에 대해 뛰어난 소독효과를 갖고 있는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 향후, 야외적용시험을 통해 실제적용에 따른 효과를 확인할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify the virucidal efficacy against the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) of an aquatic disinfectant tablet composed of calcium hypochlorite. Methods: Virucidal efficacy was determined through the viability of VHSV contacted with the disinfectant in a viral stock cultured in a fathead minnow cell line. An aquatic disinfectant tablet and VHSV were reacted under distilled water (DW), hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) conditions. Results: Under DW and HW conditions, VHSV was inactivated with 24,000- and 2000-fold dilutions of the aquatic disinfectant tablet, respectively. With the investigation of the antiviral effect of the disinfectant under OM conditions, VHSV was inactivated with a 16,000-fold dilution of the aquatic disinfectant tablet. Conclusions: The results from this study showed that the aquatic disinfectant tablet was a highly effective disinfectant against VHSV. In the future, a controlled field trial is required to determine whether the use of an aquatic disinfectant tablet will be able to reduce VHSV in a cultured marine fish farm.

Objectives: This study evaluated the virucidal efficacy against avian influenza virus (AIV) of a disinfectant spray containing 0.25% grapefruit seed extract, 0.2% citric acid, 0.0625% malic acid and 0.0125% benzalkonium chloride. Methods: The disinfectant spray was diluted several times with hard water (HW) and organic matter (OM). Two point five mL of each diluent was added into each test tube, and 2.5 mL of AIV suspension was inserted into each test tube. After 30 minutes of virus-disinfectant contact reaction at $4^{\circ}C$, 2.5 mL of 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum was added into each test tube to neutralize the sanitizer efficacy. The neutralized solutions were serial 10-fold dilutions with phosphate buffer solution, and 0.2 mL of the diluents was injected into the allantoic cavity of five ten-day-old-chickens per dilution time. After incubation of the embryos for five days, the viability of the AIV was examined by hemagglutination titer. The valid dilution of the disinfectant spray was estimated according to the dilution time that the virus titer was inactivated more than $10^4$ 50% egg-infective dose (EID50)/mL compared with pathogen control. Results: In HW and OM conditions, the valid dilutions of the disinfectant spray against AIV were seven- and three-fold dilutions, respectively. The AIV titer of the pathogen control was more than 6.1 log10EID50/mL, and there was no embryonic toxicity. Conclusion: The present study showed that this disinfectant spray has effective virucidal activity against AIV.

In virucidal efficacy testing, the chemical inactivation cannot be determined for all viruses due to the difficulties or the inability to culture sufficiently or the risk of exposure to the viruses. Therefore, disinfectants against these viruses could be evaluated by different methods and surrogate viruses are used as alternative. In this study we developed a method for efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants using one of the candidate surrogate viruses, bacteriophage MS2, as part of the research on the selection of surrogate viruses for efficiency of efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants. This method is based on the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA) guidelines for efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants. Bacteriophage and disinfectant are reacted in suspension in accordance with the APQA guidelines and then a newly established double agar layer method is applied for the efficacy test. The double agar layer method is summarized as follows: 1) The bottom agar with 1.5% agar is boiled and cooled before poured into petri dishes at volume of 20 mL, and dried under biological safety cabinet. 2) The top agar with 0.7% agar is boiled and kept at 50℃ before E. coli culture was seeded. 3) The serially diluted bacteriophage MS2-disinfectant mixtures 0.05 mL and E. coli host 0.01 mL (OD₆₀₀ 0.2~0.3) are mixed with 5 mL of top agar and incubate them at 50℃ for 5 min for reaction. 4) The resulting mixture is poured over top of a bottom agar plate and rocked sufficiently to ensure that the top agar covers the entire surface of the bottom agar. 5) The double agar layer is then placed under biological safety cabinet to allow the agar layer to solidify and subsequently incubated at 37℃ for 24 hr. 6) Following incubation, the plates may be inspected for plaques and record results.

코로나-19 펜데믹에서 볼 수 있듯이, 새로운 바이러스 감염병의 출현은 전 세계적으로 공중보건에 심각한 우려를 발생시킨다. 특히, 항바이러스제 및 백신의 부재는 감염병의 피해를 더욱 증가시킨다. 식물 유래 천연물은 안전하고 효과적인 항바이러스제 개발의 주요 공급원이다. 본 연구는 한약재 식물의 에탄올추출물의 항바이러스 활성을 분석함으로써 안전성과 효능을 갖는 새로운 항바이러스제 후보물질을 발굴하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 10종의 한약재 에탄올추출물의 항산화활성과 세포독성을 분석한 후 로타바이러스, A형간염바이러스, 독감바이러스에 대한 광범위한 바이러스 사멸활성을 분석하였다. 특히, 마가목과 감초의 추출물은 독감바이러스에 대한 강력한 사멸활성을 나타내었다. 또한, 마가목과 감초의 추출물로 사멸된 독감바이러스의 백신효능과 방어효능을 마우스 모델에서 검증하였다. 추출물로 사멸된 바이러스는 높은 수준의 중화항체를 유도하였으며 야생형 바이러스 공격접종을 효과적으로 방어하는 우수한 백신효능을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과는 한약재 유래 천연물을 기반으로 하는 항바이러스제와 사백신 제조를 위한 바이러스 불활화제 개발에 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

Norovirus, which causes gastroenteritis in humans, is an important food-borne pathogen worldwide. In an effort to discover an antiviral substance against norovirus, extracts from several seaweeds were evaluated for antiviral activity against feline calicivirus (FCV), which was used as a surrogate. The methanolic extract of Undaria pinnatifida exhibited the most significant antiviral activity and virucidal efficacy against FCV. The concentrations of the extract that reduced viral replication by 50% ($EC_{50}$) and resulted in the death of 50% of the host cells ($CC_{50}$) were 0.05 mg/mL and 1.02 mg/mL, respectively. The selectivity index, calculated from the ratio of the $CC_{50}$ and $EC_{50}$ was 20.4. No FCV infection of host cells occurred following a 1-h incubation in the presence of 12.50 mg/mL U. pinnatifida extract, indicating that the virus was completely inactivated by the extract treatment. The results obtained in this study will contribute to the development of a natural antiviral substance that will prevent food-borne disease caused by norovirus.
