Wipa-boots are impregnated with a solution that allows transportation of different pathogens. A major concern in the livestock industry is the prevention, detection, and control of infections by pathogens like viruses (H1N1, African swine fever, PRRS, Circovirus, Newcastle) and bacteria (Salmonella and E. coli including STEC). This product is a quick and simple solution to establish an innocuous environment in livestock housing, animal transportation vehicles, and their washing stations.

Acting as a quick and simple sterile sampling method, Wipa-boots allow sample collection to occur simultaneously during routine walking inspections. The kit includes a sterile bag and a pair of boot covers, pre-moistened in 23 ml of tryptone salt. This solution allows the transportation of different pathogens, for reliable and safe analysis.
