김인섭,Kim, In-Seop 한국미생물학회 2003 미생물학회지 Vol.39 No.4

Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV)는 혈장유래의약품의 바이러스 안전성 검증을 위해 hepatitis A virus (HAV)의 모델 바이러스로 사용되어왔다. 근래에 혈액응고인자제제에 의한 HAV 감염사례가 보고되면서 혈장유래의약품의 HAV 안전성 검증에 대한 국제적인 규제가 강화되어가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HAV와 EMCV의 바이러스 불활화 공정에 대한 민감도를 평가하여, 혈장유래의약품 제조공정에서 HAV 불활화 공정의 검증법을 표준화하고자 하였다. HAV와 EMCV의 바이러스 불활화 공정에 대한 민감도를 평가한 결과 HAV가 60$^{\circ}C$ 열처리, low pH 처리(pH 3.9), 0.1 M NaOH 처리, 동결건조 공정 모두에서 EMCV보다 더 저항성이 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. EMCV는 특히 열처리와 0.1 NaOH 처리에 민감하게 불활화 되었지만, HAV는 큰 저항성을 나타내었다. 열처리의 경우 2시간 안에 EMCV는 검출한계 이하로 감소하였지만, HAV는 5시간 후에 검출한계 이하로 감소하였다. 0.1 M NaOH 처리시 EMCV는 15분 안에 검출한계 이하로 감소하였지만, HAV는 120분 정도의 처리에도 감염성 바이러스가 검출되었다. pH 3.9에서 25$^{\circ}C$로 14일 동안 항온하였을 때 HAV와 EMCV의 log 감소인수는 각각 1.63, 3.84이었다. 또한 혈액응고 8인자 제조공정의 동결건조 과정에서 HAV와 EMCV의 log 감소인수는 각각 1.21, 4.57이었다. 이와 같은 결과는 혈장유래의약품 제조공정의 HAV 불활화 또는 제거 검증시 모델 바이러스로 사용된 EMCV의 검증 결과를 해석함에 있어 보다 신중함을 가져야 한다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 보다 정확한 HAV검증 결과를 얻고자 한다면 모델 바이러스인 EMCV 보다 HAV를 사용하는 것이 보다 더 타당하다고 사료된다. Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) has been used as a surrogate for hepatitis A virus (HAV) for the validation of virus removal and/or inactivation during the manufacturing process of biopharmaceuticals. Recently international regulation for the validation of HAV safety has been reinforced because of the reported cases of HAV transmission to hemophiliac patients who had received ntihemophilic factors prepared from human plasma. The purpose of the present study was to compare the resistance of HAV and EMCV to various viral inactivation processes and then to standardize the HAV validation method. HAV was more resistant than EMCV to pasteurization (60oC heat treatment for 10 hr), low pH incubation (pH 3.9 at 25oC for 14 days), 0.1 M NaOH treatment, and lyophilization. EMCV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels within 2 hr of pasteurization, however, HAV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels after 5 hr treatment. EMCV was completely inactivated to undetectable levels within 15 min of 0.1 M NaOH treatment, however, residual infectivity of HAV still remained even after 120 min of treatment. The log reduction factors achieved during low pH incubation were 1.63 for HAV and 3.84 for EMCV. Also the log reduction factors achieved during a lyophilization process of antihemophilic factor VIII were 1.21 for HAV and 4.57 for EMCV. These results indicate that HAV rather than EMCV should be used for the virus validation study and the validation results obtained using EMCV should be precisely reviewed.

A process for manufacturing virally-safe bovine amniotic membrane(BAM) has been developed for biological dressing. BAM was harvested from a healthy bovine placenta, and then the epithelium was removed. The remaining stromal layer was consecutively disinfected with 70% ethanol and 0.05% sodium hypochlorite. The stromal layer was incubated in a decellularization solution containing 0.25%(w/v) trypsin to remove the cellular components. The resulting acelluar BAM was lyophilized to preserve its biochemical and structural integrity. The BAM was packed and exposed to 25 kGy of gamma irradiation for sterilization purpose. Histological, electron microscopical, and biochemical observations showed that the acellualr BAM had intact structural integrity of three dimensional collagen fibers and contained several growth factors, accelerating wound healing, such as EGF (Epidermal growth factor), KGF (Keratinocyte growth factor), and FGF (Fibroblast growth factor). Bovine herpes virus (BHV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV-3), and bovine parvovirus (BPV) were chosen as the biological indicators for validation of viral safety of the acellular BAM. Samples from relevant stages of the production process were spiked with each virus and subjected to viral inactivation processes. Viruses were recovered from the samples and then titrated immediately. All the viruses tested were completely inactivated to undetectable levels within 1 h of 70% ethanol treatment. Enveloped viruses such as BHV, BVDV, and BPIV-3 were more effectively inactivated than BPV by 0.05% sodium hypochlorite treatment. BHV, BVDV, and BPIV-3 were completely inactivated to undetectable levels by 25kGy of gamma irradiation. Also BPV was effectively inactivated by 25 kGy of gamma irradiation. The cumulative log reduction factors of BHV, BVDV, BPIV-3, and BPV were ≥13.30, ≥14.32, ≥15.22, and ≥7.57,respectively. These results indicate that the production process for acelluar BAM has a sufficient virus-reducing capacity to achieve a high margin of the virus safety. 바이러스 안전성이 보증된 무세포 소 양막 생물창상피복재 제조공정을 확립하고자 하였다. 기질세포를 제거하기 위해 효소(트립신)를 처리하는 공정과 바이러스를 불활화하기위해 70% 에탄올, 0.05% sodium hypochlorite, 25 kGy 감마선 처리 공정을 포함하는 무세포 소 양막 제조공정을 확립하였다. 무세포 소 양막의 조직학적 분석과 전자현미경 분석 결과 면역거부반응을 일으킬 수 있는 상피층과 기질세포들이 잘 제거되었으며, 소 양막 콜라겐 섬유의 3차원적 구조가 잘 유지되어 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 상처치유효과가있는 EGF, KGF, FGF와 같은 성장인자를 포함하고 있었다. 바이러스 불활화 효과를 검증하기 위해 국제적 가이드에 따라 4종의 바이러스(BHV, BVDV, BPIV-3, BPV)를 생물학적지표로 사용하여 소 양막에 각 생물학적 지표를 첨가한 후각 바이러스 불활화 공정을 실시한 다음 각 바이러스를 회수하여 정량한 후 불활화 정도를 비교하였다. 24시간 70%에탄올 처리 공정에서 BHV, BVDV, BPIV-3, BPV 모두 처리 시간 1시간 안에 검출한계 이하로 완벽하게 불활화되었다. 30분 0.05% sodium hypochlorite 처리 공정에서 BHV,BVDV, BPIV-3 같은 외피 바이러스는 BPV 같은 비-외피 바이러스에 비해 효과적으로 불활화되었다. 25 kGy 감마선 조사에 의해 BHV, BVDV, BPIV-3는 검출한계 이하로 완벽하게 불활화되었고, BPV도 효과적으로 불활화되었다. 3가지바이러스 불활화 공정에서 BHV, BVDV, BPIV-3, BPV에대한 log 바이러스 감소인수 합은 각각 ≥13.30, ≥14.32,≥15.22, ≥7.57이었다. 이와 같은 결과 본 연구를 통해 확립된 무세포 소 양막 제조공정은 바이러스 안전성을 보증할 수있는 충분한 바이러스 불활화 능력을 갖고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

동물유래성분을 원재료로 사용하는 의료기기는 원료물질 유래 바이러스가 오염될 가능성이 있기 때문에 생산과정 중 바이러스가 오염되지 않도록 하여야 한다. 또한 생산공정은 오염될 가능성이 있는 바이러스들을 불활화하거나 제거하는 공정을 포함하여야 한다. 본 연구를 통해 돼지유래 이종골을 원재료로 사용한 바이러스 안전성이 보증된 치과용 골이식재(THE Graft$^{(R)}$) 제조공정을 개발하였다. THE Graft$^{(R)}$ 제조공정은 30% 과산화수소수와 80% 에탄올을 각각 처리하여 지방을 제거하는 공정과 $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정을 통해 콜라겐과 유기물을 제거하는 공정을 포함한다. 또한 최종적으로 생산된 hydroxyapatite 성분의 골이식재에 25 kGy의 감마선을 조사하여 감염성 위해인자를 불활화하는 공정을 포함한다. THE Graft$^{(R)}$의 형태학적 특성을 소유래 hydroxyapatite 성분의 골이식재인 Bio-Oss와 SEM과 TEM을 이용하여 비교한 결과 구조적 특성이 유사함을 확인하였다. $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정과 25 kGy 감마선 조사 공정의 바이러스 불활화 효과를 평가하기 위해 transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine rotavirus (PRoV), porcine parvovirus (PPV)를 모델 바이러스로 선정하였다. $1,300^{\circ}C$ 열처리 공정에서 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV 모두 검출한계 이하로 불활화되었으며, 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}4.65$, ${\geq}5.81$, ${\geq}6.28$, ${\geq}5.21$이었다. 또한 감마선 조사 공정에서도 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV 모두 검출한계 이하로 불활화되었으며, 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}4.65$, ${\geq}5.87$, ${\geq}6.05$, ${\geq}4.89$이었다. 두 공정에서 TGEV, PRV, PRoV, PPV의 누적 바이러스 로그 감소 값은 각각 ${\geq}9.30$, ${\geq}11.68$, ${\geq}12.33$, ${\geq}10.10$이었다. 이상의 결과에 의하면, THE Graft$^{(R)}$ 제조공정은 바이러스 안전성 보증을 위한 충분한 바이러스 불활화 능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단된다. A process for manufacturing virally-safe porcine bone hydroxyapatite (HA) has been developed to serve as advanced xenograft material for dental applications. Porcine bone pieces were defatted with successive treatments of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 80% ethyl alcohol. The defatted porcine bone pieces were heat-treated in an oxygen atmosphere box furnace at $1,300^{\circ}C$ to remove collagen and organic compounds. The bone pieces were ground with a grinder and then the bone powder was sterilized by gamma irradiation. Morphological characteristics such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) images of the resulting porcine bone HA (THE Graft$^{(R)}$) were similar to those of a commercial bovine bone HA (Bio-Oss$^{(R)}$). In order to evaluate the efficacy of $1,300^{\circ}C$ heat treatment and gamma irradiation at a dose of 25 kGy for the inactivation of porcine viruses during the manufacture of porcine bone HA, a variety of experimental porcine viruses including transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine rotavirus (PRoV), and porcine parvovirus (PPV) were chosen. TGEV, PRV, PRoV, and PPV were completely inactivated to undetectable levels during the $1,300^{\circ}C$ heat treatment. The mean log reduction factors achieved were $${\geq_-}4.65$$ for TGEV, $${\geq_-}5.81$$ for PRV, $${\geq_-}6.28$$ for PRoV, and $${\geq_-}5.21$$ for PPV. Gamma irradiation was also very effective at inactivating the viruses. TGEV, PRV, PRoV, and PPV were completely inactivated to undetectable levels during the gamma irradiation. The mean log reduction factors achieved were $${\geq_-}4.65$$ for TGEV, $${\geq_-}5.87$$ for PRV, $${\geq_-}6.05$$ for PRoV, and $${\geq_-}4.89$$ for PPV. The cumulative log reduction factors achieved using the two different virus inactivation processes were $${\geq_-}9.30$$ for TGEV, $${\geq_-}11.68$$ for PRV, $${\geq_-}12.33$$ for PRoV, and $${\geq_-}10.10$$ for PPV. These results indicate that the manufacturing process for porcine bone HA from porcine-bone material has sufficient virus-reducing capacity to achieve a high margin of virus safety.

바이러스에 의한 최근(2010-2019) 국내 식중독 사고와 검출법 및 제어법에 대한 동향 조사

권승욱(Seung-Wook Kwon),김상순(Sang-Soon Kim) 한국식품과학회 2021 한국식품과학회지 Vol.53 No.1

본 논문에서는 최근 10년간(2010-2019년) 바이러스에 의한 식중독 통계 및 바이러스 검출법과 제어법에 대한 자료를 정리하여 나타냈다. 국내에서 지난 10년 동안 바이러스에 의해 발생한 식중독 사고 488건 중 94.9%가 노로바이러스에 의한 것으로 확인되어 노로바이러스가 국내에서 가장 주요한 식중독 바이러스로 생각된다. 노로바이러스를 검출하는 방법으로는 PCR을 이용한 방법이 주로 보고되고 있으며 현재(2020년 12월) 식품 공전에 등록된 방법(고시 제 2010-45호)에 따라 전기 영동을 기반으로 한 one-step RT PCR 및 semi-nested PCR 방법이 널리 이용되고 있다. 또한 최근 DNA sequencing 기술이 발달됨에 따라서 검출된 바이러스의 서열을 분석하여 이미 보고된 바이러스의 서열과 비교한 논문들이 많이 보고되었다. 이 외에도 real-time PCR을 적용한 논문들도 보고되고 있으며 앞으로는 전기 영동을 실시하는 conventional PCR을 대신하여 신속하게 정량 검출이 가능한 realtime PCR의 활용이 늘어날 것으로 생각한다. 기타 바이러스의 검출에 있어서도 역시 PCR을 활용한 방법이 주로 보고되고 있으며 multiplex PCR을 활용하여 여러 종류의 바이러스를 동시에 검출하고자 하는 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 더 나아가서, 자기 면역력 분리와 퀀텀닷 분석 방법 등을 이용한 신속 검출법이 제시되고 있어 앞으로 여러 식품에 오염된 바이러스를 현장에서 신속분리 및 검출하는데 이용할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. 한편, 노로바이러스는 실험실에서 배양하기가 어렵기 때문에 노로바이러스 제어 연구는 대체재를 이용한 방법들이 주를 이루었다. 옴 가열을 포함한 여러 종류의 열처리와 초고압, 오존, 감마선, 광펄스 등의 비가열 처리를 이용하여 노로바이러스의 저감정도를 살펴본 연구들이 최근 보고되었다. 일반적으로 물이나 완충용액보다는 식품 샘플에서 바이러스의 저감 정도가 낮게 관찰되었는데 식품 matrix가 이러한 물리적 처리에 간섭 효과를 나타내기 때문으로 생각되며 이를 극복하기 위해서는 여러 물리적, 화학적 처리를 조합하여 처리할 필요가 있다. 기타 바이러스 제어 연구에 있어서는 열, 광펄스, 고압력 등의 물리적 처리와 더불어 살균제(sanitizer)를 적용한 논문들이 보고되고 있으며 식중독 바이러스의 저감 메커니즘에 대한 체계적인 연구가 수행되고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 여러 물리적, 화학적 처리에 대해서 식중독 바이러스가 저항성을 갖는 이유와 사멸되는 메커니즘을 정확하게 이해한다면 추후 여러 식품에서의 바이러스에 대한 안전성을 확보하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다. In this review, recent foodborne outbreaks caused by viruses in the Republic of Korea (2010-2019) were analyzed. The human norovirus was found to be the major foodborne virus causing an average of 94.9% of the viral outbreaks. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with electrophoresis has been widely used to detect viruses, but several rapid detection methods, including real-time PCR, multiplex PCR, and quantum dot assay, have also been suggested. For norovirus inactivation studies, surrogates such as murine norovirus and feline calicivirus have been widely used to identify the reduction rate owing to the limitations in laboratory cultivation. Conversely, direct cell infection studies have been conducted for other foodborne viruses such as adenovirus, astrovirus, rotavirus, and hepatitis A or E virus. Moreover, virucidal mechanisms using various physical and chemical treatments have been revealed. These recent studies suggest that rapid in situ detection and effective control are valuable for ensuring food safety against viral infections.

Enhanced Virus Safety of a Solvent/Detergent-Treated Anti-hemophilic Factor IX Concentrate by Dry-Heat Treatment

Shin Jeong-Sup,Choi Yong-Woon,Sung Hark-Mo,Ryu Yeon-Woo,Kim In-Seop The Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengine 2006 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.11 No.1

With particular regards to the hepatitis A virus (HAV), a terminal dry-heat treatment ($100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min) process, following lyophilization, was developed to improve the virus safety of a solvent/detergent-treated antihemophilic factor IX concentrate. The loss of factor IX activity during dry-heat treatment was of about 3%, as estimated by a clotting assay. No substantial changes were observed in the physical and biochemical characteristics of the dry-heat-treated factor IX compared with those of the factor IX before dry-heat treatment. The dry-heat-treated factor IX was stable for up to 24 months at $4^{\circ}C$, The dry-heat treatment after lyophilization was an effective process for inactivating viruses. The HAV and murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) were completely inactivated to below detectable levels within 10 min of the dry-heat treatment. Porcine parvovirus (PPV) and bovine herpes virus (BHV) were potentially sensitive to the treatment. The log reduction factors achieved during lyophilization and dry-heat treatment were ${\ge}5.60$ for HAV, ${\ge}6.08$ for EMCV, 2.64 for PPV, and 3.59 for BHV. These results indicate that dry-heat treatment improves the virus safety of factor IX concentrates, without destroying the activity. Moreover, the treatment represents an effective measure for the inactivation of non-lipid enveloped viruses, in particular HAV, which is resistant to solvent/detergent treatment.

Partitioning and Inactivation of Viruses by Cold Ethanol Fractionation and Pasteurization during Manufacture of Albumin from Human Plasma

KIM, IN SEOP,EO, HO GUEON,CHANG, CHONG EUN,LEE, SOUNGMIN 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2000 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.10 No.6

The purpose of the present study was to examine the efficacy and mechanism of the fraction Ⅳ cold ethanol fractionation and pasteurization (60℃ heat treatment for 10h) steps, involved in the manufacture of albumin from human plasma, in the removal and/or inactivation of blood-born viruses. A variety of experimental model viruses for human pathogenic viruses, including the Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), Bovine herpes virus (BHV), Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and Porcine parvovirus (PPV), were selected for this study. Samples from the relevant stages of the production process were spiked with the viruses, and the amount of virus in each fraction was then quantified using a 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID_50). The mechanism of reduction for the enveloped viruses (BHV and BVDV) during fraction Ⅳ fractionation was inactivation rather than partitioning, however, it was partitioning in the case of the non-enveloped viruses (EMCV and PPV). The log reduction factors achieved during fraction Ⅳ fractionation were ≥6.9 for BHV, ≥5.2 for BVDV, 4.9 for EMC, and 4.0 for PPV. Pasteurization was found to be a robust and effective step in inactivating the enveloped viruses as well as EMCV. The log reduction factors achieved during pasteurization were ≥7.0 for BHV, ≥6.1 for BVDV, ≥6.3 for EMCV, and 1.7 for PPV. These results indicate that the production process for albumin has sufficient virusreducing capacity to achieve a high margin of virus safety.

Inactivation modeling of human enteric virus surrogates, MS2, Qβ, and ΦX174, in water using UVC-LEDs, a novel disinfecting system

Kim, D.K.,Kim, S.J.,Kang, D.H. Published on behalf of the Canadian Institute of F 2017 Food Research International Vol.91 No.-

<P>In order to assure the microbial safety of drinking water, UVC-LED treatment has emerged as a possible technology to replace the use of conventional low pressure (LP) mercury vapor UV lamps. In this investigation, inactivation of Human Enteric Virus (HuEV) surrogates with UVC-LEDs was investigated in a water disinfection system, and kinetic model equations were applied to depict the surviving infectivities of the viruses. MS2, Q beta, and Phi X 174 bacteriophages were inoculated into sterile distilled water (DW) and irradiated with UVC-LED printed circuit boards (PCBs) (266 nm and 279 nm) or conventional LP lamps. Infectivities of bacteriophages were effectively reduced by up to 7-log after 9 mJ/cm(2) treatment for MS2 and Q beta, and I mJ/cm(2) for Phi X 174. UVC-LEDs showed a superior viral inactivation effect compared to conventional LP lamps at the same dose (1 mJ/cm(2)). Non-log linear plot patterns were observed, so that Weibull, Biphasic, Log linear-tail, and Weibull-tail model equations were used to fit the virus survival curves. For MS2 and Q beta, Weibull and Biphasic models fit well with R-2 values approximately equal to 0.97-0.99, and the Weibull-tail equation accurately described survival of Phi X 174. The level of UV-susceptibility among coliphages measured by the inactivation rate constant, k, was statistically different (Phi X 174 (ssDNA) > MS2, Q beta (ssRNA)), and indicated that sensitivity to UV was attributed to viral genetic material.

Analysis of genome integrity of influenza virus in formaldehyde-inactivated split vaccines

이임순,이미경,황재선,이병욱,김형주,한정수 한국유전학회 2014 Genes & Genomics Vol.36 No.5

Although inactivated split-virus influenza vaccinesare widely used to render protection against the viralinfection, information regarding the effects of the vaccinepreparation on the integrity of the viral genomes is currentlyvery limited. In the present study, to gain insight intothe physical and genetic alterations of RNA viral genomesin the course of the vaccine preparation, we analyzed theinfluenza virus A H1N1 hemagglutinin (HA) genomesegment in a conventional split-virus influenza vaccineinactivated by formaldehyde, which encodes the majorsurface protein of the virus. The vaccine solutions weretreated with proteinase K prior to RNA purification, andviral genomic RNA was successfully retrieved up to almosteightfold higher than samples without the treatment. Despite the high yield, no full-length bands of the influenzaviral genomes were identifiable upon electrophoresis due tosevere degradation. Interestingly, however, we were able toamplify a variety of genomic regions including a fragmentcovering the full-length HA gene using cDNA. Furthermore,sequencing of a series of the fragments forconfirmation revealed that the rate of base alteration of thegene in the vaccine was approximately 0.1 %, which iscomparable to the spontaneous error rate occurring duringPCR. We next constructed a GST expression vector carryingthe full-length HA fragment cloned from the vaccineand confirmed that the correct size of the expected GSTfusedHA protein was expressed. Taken together, theseresults demonstrate that a full-length HA RNA genomefragment with comparatively intact sequence informationmay exist in the inactivated split-virus vaccine. Therefore,these experimental findings on the properties of the HARNA in the influenza vaccine, may contribute to cautioususe of the vaccine in a variety of research areas andprotocols.

Rocío Silvia Sandoval-Monzón,Irma Cecilia Karla Arévalo-Rodriguez,Aldo Alberto Carrillo-Torres,Luis Felipe Ruiz-García 대한백신학회 2021 Clinical and Experimental Vaccine Research Vol.10 No.1

Purpose: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of pasteurization, freezing, the addition of formaldehyde and peroxymonosulfate on the inactivation of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) present in milk. Materials and Methods: A sheep bioassay was carried out in 40 sheep, which were intraperitoneally inoculated with leukocytes from milk infected by the BLV previously treated with one of the virus inactivation methods. Five study groups were evaluated: (1) control group: milk without previous treatment, (2) pasteurization group: milk treated by pasteurization, (3) freezing group: milk treated by freezing for 36 hours, (4) formaldehyde group: 0.1% formaldehyde, and (5) peroxymonosulfate group: 0.05% peroxymonosulfate. The inoculated animals were followed for 10 weeks. Results: At week 10 post-inoculation, all the animals (8/8) of the control group and the peroxymonosulfate group were seropositive to BLV, while no animals were seropositive (0/8) to BLV in the remaining three groups. Statistically significant differences were found between the pasteurization, freezing and formaldehyde groups with respect to the control (p<0.001) and peroxymonosulfate groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results indicate that pasteurization, freezing and formaldehyde processes are efficient in inactivating the BLV and can be used in milk to prevent the transmission of the virus.
