A new generation of hydrogen peroxide as a fungicidal disinfectant in rabbit houses

الملخص EN

The experiments were performed on rabbits suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, also Microsporum canis were found at percentages of 55.7 % and a20 % respectively.

Moreover, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus candidus, Fusarium, Alternaria spp, Penicillium spp and Cladosporium spp, Curvularia spp Mucor spp.

and Rhodotorula spp were isolated from fur of rabbits.

The isolates from rabbit's samples were isolated from the air and for surface of rabbit houses at Gharbia Governorate from December 2007 till February 2008.

Surface disinfection and decontamination provide temporary amelioration against microbial colonization.

Disinfected surfaces eventually become contaminated, thus, mitigating the benefit of the initial disinfection.

We describe here ionized hydrogen peroxide (IHP) disinfectant technology designed to provide long-lasting sanitization and disinfection to air and treated surfaces as evaluated on hard surfaces after repeated environmental insults.

The results of this study showed that IHP application at a rate of 1 mL / m3 had high fungicidal activity in addition to being a fast acting disinfectant.

We found IHP to be effective as aerial fungicide (inactivate fungi within 5 minutes), while the spores deposition on surfaces were inactivated after 5 daily uses.
