CANADA - A Professor with the University of Saskatchewan says research conducted by VIDO-InterVac has given engineers the parameters necessary to apply the use of heat to the decontamination of swine transport vehicles to improve transport biosecurity, Bruce Cochrane reports.A team of engineers and scientists, working on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc, is developing an automated system to speed up and reduce the cost of disinfecting swine transport trailers to reduce the transfer of disease causing pathogens.Dr Terry Fonstad, a Professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, notes researchers with VIDO-Intervac have demonstrated that heat is extremely effective in destroying pathogens.

布魯斯·科克倫(Bruce Cochrane)寫道，據(jù)加拿大薩斯喀徹溫大學(xué)的一名教授稱，疫苗與傳染病組織-國際疫苗中心(VIDO-InterVac)已經(jīng)給出工程師們在對生豬運輸車輛進行消毒時，使用的加熱處理應(yīng)用參數(shù)，以此提高運輸生物安全性。由科學(xué)家和工程師們組成的一支研究團隊，同時也代表著養(yǎng)豬創(chuàng)新項目組織，他們正在研發(fā)一種自動化系統(tǒng)，以此提高生豬運輸拖車消毒速率，并削減消毒成本，最終消滅傳播疾病的病原體。薩斯喀徹溫大學(xué)的工程學(xué)院教授Terry Fonstad博士指出，疫苗與傳染病組織-國際疫苗中心的研究人員已經(jīng)證明了，熱處理對消滅病原體有著極高的效率。
