Efficient inactivation of African swine fever virus by a highly complexed iodine

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly lethal contagious disease of swine caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). Cleaning and disinfection remain one of the most effective tools to prevent the ASFV spread in pig holdings. This study evaluated the inactivation effect of a highly complexed iodine (HPCI) disinfectant against ASFV. A commercially available povidone-iodine (PVP-I) was used as reference for comparison. The results showed that 5%...
