Project Experience

The SPD staff has performed contract research examining disinfectant efficacy versus Foot and Mouth Disease and Swine Vesicular Disease at the USDA Plum Island Animal Disease Center. The staff has also prepared pure cultures of Bacillus thuringiensis for use in Anthrax simulant tests. SPD staff used these same cultures in benchtop disinfectant efficacy studies conducted for the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC).

The SPD has also performed contract research with scientists from the Former Soviet Union’s Vector Laboratory in Novosibirsk, Koltsovo. This research involved the rapid detection of disease-infected erythrocytes in a Non-Uniform Alternating Electrical Field (NUAEF).
