New anti-Avian flu cloth
Shikibo Ltd. and the National Institute of
Animal Health (NIAH)have jointly developed a fabric called "Flutect".
This new fabric has been proven to block the spread of
bird
influenza by 99.9%, even after 50 washings, stopping the spread of the virus
within 10 minutes of exposure.
Shikibo and the
NIAH say that Flutect will be available
in 2007 in the form of uniforms for poultry house workers, masks, filters, down
jackets, lab-coats and so forth.
