Evaluation of Electrostatic Particle Ionization Technology for Decreasing Airborne Pathogens in Pigs
Influenza A virus (IAV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and Staphylococcus aureus are important swine pathogens capable of being transmitted via aerosols. The electrostatic particle ionization system (EPI) consists of a conductive line that emits negative ions that charge particles electrically resulting in the settling of airborne particles onto surfaces and potentially decreasing the risk of pathogen dissemination, write Carmen Alonso et al, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, US.
