Efficiency of Chlorine as a Disinfectant Against Monodon Baculovirus (MBV)

The effect of chlorine in the form of calcium hypochlorite solution on the infec­tivity of Monodon Baculovirus (MBV) for Penaeus monodon postlarvae in a bioassay was investigated using several concentrations and exposure times. MBV was inacti­vated by a 24-hour exposure to 1,000 mg·I·1 chlorine. Low...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of chlorine in the form of calcium hypochlorite solution on the infec­tivity of Monodon Baculovirus (MBV) for Penaeus monodon postlarvae in a bioassay was investigated using several concentrations and exposure times. MBV was inacti­vated by a 24-hour exposure to 1,000 mg·I·1 chlorine. Lower concentrations for more time or higher concentrations for less time reduced the prevalence of infections but did noteliminate them. The presence of small amounts of host tissue did not reduce the effectiveness of the chlorine.
