Wilmington, DE – Because of the recent viral outbreaks in Tanzania and Equatorial Guinea, the EPA has expanded the Emerging Viral Pathogens claim to include the Marburg Virus which causes Marburg virus disease. Marburg virus disease is a viral hemorrhagic fever that can be deadly, with a fatality rate of up to 88%, according to the World Health Organization.

The claim allows registrants to make indirect, off-label claims against Marburg Virus if their product has previously demonstrated effectiveness against viruses that are harder to inactivate than the emerging virus. This rule allows healthcare professionals and researchers to better understand which products will kill emerging viral pathogens, even before testing for specific pathogens is done.

Quip Labs, a leader in disinfection and decontamination, offers several chemistries with the emerging viral pathogens claim.

“At Quip Labs, we understand the importance of staying ahead of emerging viral pathogens and providing our customers with the most effective products to combat them.
