Note:
* Based on locally sourced data and independent international research, QAC and twin-chain QAC (quaternary ammonium compounds), are effective against Mycoplasma bovis, when used as per instructions, on clean hard surfaces. Further information relating to efficacy can be provided on request.
** Although specific testing has not yet been undertaken on FIV, efficacy data is available for HIV, and as the two are very similar in structure, Virucide is effective on FIV (as surrogate).
*** Although specific testing does not relate to Canine Parvovirus, efficacy data is available for Porcine Parvovirus (PPV), and as the two are very similar in structure, Virucide is effective on Canine Parvovirus (as surrogate).
