Abstract
Virucidal effect of some disinfectants on baculoviral mid-gut gland necrosis (BMN) virus prepared from frozen naturally infected post-larvae was examined by infectivity experiments using larval and postlarval kuruma shrimp, Penaeus japonicus.
BMN virus was inactivated by contact for 10 minutes at 25°C with 5 ppm as active principle-concentration of chlorine, 25 ppm as active principle concentration of iodine, 100 ppm of bezalkonium chloride, 100 ppm of benzethonium chloride, 0.5% of formalin and 30% of ethanol.
