Vehicle disinfection vital for preventing spread of disease

摘要

Humans and transport vehicles are often blamed for the spread of infectious diseases. How can you prevent this from happening? Transport vehicles may visit many different facilities during a day. Therefore vehicle disinfection is of extreme importance. The current devastating outbreaks of highly pathogenic Avian Influenza in The Netherlands and Belgium should be causing poultry producers to reassess all their biosecurity procedures, especially since transmission of the virus has once again been strongly linked to vehicles. In light of the current epidemic sweeping across The Netherlands and Belgium this article has been written to provide useful advice on how to prevent further vehicle-related spread of the deadly pathogen.
