Abstract

A system and method for passively delivering inactivated pathogens to a population of animals or birds. The method comprises: isolating a pathogen from an infected animal/bird; culturing the isolated pathogen; inactivating the isolated pathogen with UVC; infusing an object with the inactivated pathogen; and introducing the inactivated pathogen infused object into an area containing one or more animals/birds.

Claims (22)

1 . A system for delivering inactivated pathogens to an enclosure, comprising:

an air delivery system, the air delivery system comprising:

(a) an air intake;

(b) an air conditioning unit;

(c) an air mover;

(d) a UVC disinfection unit;

(e) an enclosure, wherein the enclosure is configured for holding animals or birds;

(f) an enclosure air entry vent;

(g) an enclosure air discharge vent;

(h) an air circulation pathway going from the air intake through an air duct connected at one end to the air intake and at a second end to the enclosure air entry vent that opens into the enclosure, wherein the air duct provides:

a passageway through the air delivery system; and

a pathogen loading inlet connected to the air circulation pathway, wherein a predetermined quantity of pathogen is injected into the system.

2 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the air mover controls a velocity of air movement through the air duct.

3 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the UVC disinfection unit comprises a housing that encloses a disinfection chamber that has:

(a) a chamber wall;

(b) a chamber inlet;

(c) a chamber outlet;

(d) a centralized inner bore having an interior chamber surface facing the inner bore;

(e) a UVC light source positioned adjacent the interior chamber surface; and

(f) a helical air flow diverter centralized within the inner bore proximal the UVC light source, wherein the helical airflow diverter creates a helical path for the air circulation pathway to proceed through the disinfection chamber from the chamber inlet to the chamber outlet.

4 . The system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the air disinfection unit contains more than one UVC disinfection chamber.

5 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the enclosure is a free-standing, mobile enclosure.
