n the past 10 years, emergences of fatal infectious diseases have originated in sheltered populations. Novel potential pathogens such as canine circoviruses, bocavirus, kobuvirus, and sapovirus, as well as feline noroviruses, have all been discovered in sheltered animals. Other diseases include respiratory, neurologic, and systemic streptococcal infections (dog and cat); canine influenza; hemorrhagic respiratory Escherichia coli (dog) infection; and virulent systemic feline calicivirus infection. Sheltered animals are faced with increased personal health risks, support infectious disease transmission to the community pet population, and have relatively unguarded access to humans. In a herd health situation such as a shelter, there is merit in establishing an etiologic diagnosis both for disease management and for recognition of potential zoonoses. Stressed animals support higher infection and
shedding rates of potential pathogens such as feline enteric coronavirus, canine enteric coronavirus (CECoV), feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus. The relatively unpredictable crowding and transience of a shelter population can support an explosive expansion of viral or bacterial organisms with periodic host movement or other pathogen population bottlenecks, a situation that could theoretically support the selection of pathogen variants. PronTech™ is a patented antimicrobial that has been used in commercial animal settings for decades, including dairy and feed lots, and in recent years has found increasing public applications such as in hospitals and schools. It was recently tested and given FDA approval for the effective elimination and long-lasting prevention (more than 24 hours between application) of the human Covid-19 virus.
The Safe Place Company™ has strategically adapted the concept of HACCP for several types of environments in order to excel at each one of the operation’s critical control points where diseases can be transmitted. HACCP with the broadbased application of the PRONTECH TECHNOLOGY can prevent and eliminate a broad spectrum of harmful pathogens from all surfaces and can be effectively used in any environment.
