Sydney - Monday - August 8: (RWE Australian Business News) -
Citrofresh International Ltd (ASX code: CTF) has received confirmation
of the efficacy of Citrofresh against Avian Influenza.
A report completed by The Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute
(OVI) of South Africa has shown Citrofresh to be effective against the
virulent H5N2 strain of Avian Influenza Virus.
The result showed that Citrofresh effected a greater than 3 log
reduction of the virus at 4pc and 6pc dilutions.
In the opinion of Mr Zoltan Nack, senior scientist and
microbiologist - Analytical Microlabs, a 2pc dilution of Citrofresh
would also achieve a >3 log reduction of the virus.
This is based on the virology testing undertaken by The
Australian Rickettsial Reference Laboratory with Citrofresh on other
viruses like HSV-1, HSV-2 and Herpes zoster.
"This result is extremely impressive in that it is the first
known organic and non-toxic product in the world to achieve such a
result," directors said.
The OVI is a division of the South African Agricultural Research
Council, a semi-autonomous body created to improve the efficiency of
research and other services rendered to the agricultural community.
The study and report was completed by the OVI virology
department, which researches epidemiological aspects of viral diseases
of Africa.
Shares in Citrofresh rose 4c to 19.5c this morning.
