ASFV is very sensitive to inactivation by lipid solvents, detergents, oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite and phenol, and commercial disinfectants in a time- and temperature-dependent relationship.
For example, ASFV can be inactivated in 30 minutes by exposure to 2.3% chlorine and 3% ortho-phenylphenol, as well as iodine-containing compounds.
Other effective virucidal treatments may use formalin, sodium hydroxide, beta-propiolactone, glyceraldehydes, or acetyl-ethyleneimine
