Abstract: | Classical swine fever virus, like many enveloped viruses, may be regarded as moderately fragile. It shows a short but variable survival time in the environment, depending on physical conditions, but may remain viable for prolonged periods in favourable circumstances as found, for example, in stored meat. Published information is reviewed on the survival time of the virus under a variety of physical and chemical conditions, including the variable influence of environmental factors. The principles of virus inactivation by heat, pH or chemicals are discussed, with a consideration of the principles of containment for laboratories working with the virus. |
