Thursday, 26 January 2012 @ 12:35
Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus(ISAV) can be inactivated by using a variety of disinfectants that includes sodium hypochlorite, chloramines-T, chlorine dioxide, iodophors, sodium hydroxide, formic acid, formaldehyde and potassium peroxymonosulfate.

The virus is vulnerable towards ozonated seawater, temperatures above 55°C (131°F) for more than 5 minutes or highly acidic or basic pH (e.g., pH 4 or pH 12 for 24 hours), and also ultraviolet irradiation.
