Abstract     Prions, causative agents of BSE and other TSE are patological celular proteins, resistant on common systems of disinfection. Common disinfectants like alcohols, formalin, aldehyds (glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde), (beta propiolakton, hydrogen peroxyde, iodophores, peracetic acid, phenols and ethylen oxyde are not efficient to inactivate prion. UV radiation and dry heat in common doses are not efficient for destroying prion. Prions stay infective also after the common animal waste utilisation. Classic autoclaving under 121dereesC through 15 minutes and 134degreesC through 3 minutes are not sufficient for the prion inactivation. Incompletely sufficient deactivation of prion is possible to achieve only in some autoclaving procedures, or in combination with caustic soda (NaOH) and sodium hypoclorite (NaOCI) respectively. The definite inactivation of prion is achieve by incineration.
