A method of waste treatment includes treating partially-dewatered matrix with a first electron-beam radiation dose. The treated partially-dewatered matrix is transferred to a digester where the treated partially-dewatered matrix is subjected to anaerobic digestion. Biogas is recovered from the treated partially-dewatered matrix during the anaerobic digestion. The treated partially-dewatered matrix is dried and subjected to a second electron-beam radiation dose.

Populations ofin animals may be substantially reduced by treatment with a vaccine composition which has been produced by exposing whole, intact cells of aspecies to irradiation with an electron beam under conditions effective to kill the cells. The electron beam irradiated cells ofare effective for stimulating protective immune responses in the animals against the. Induction of these immune responses significantly reduces or eliminates the colonization of the animal by the, and consequently reduces or eliminates the shedding ofin the feces of the animals.

Systems and methods are described for removing biological pathogens using surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ). A method for removing biological pathogens from a fluid or a fluid-based gel includes filtering the fluid or fluid-based gel using SMZs. A method for removing air-borne biological pathogens includes drawing air through a fluid layer or a fluid-based gel layer and filtering the fluid or the fluid-based gel layer using SMZs.
