disinfecting saws

I have two articles I want to share with you. This first one is on transmitting Diplodia pinea (i.e. Sphaeropsis) in Scots Pine in Kentucky.

I edited this because after reading one article I realized it's not relevant.

Here's the second article I like how it briefly looked at the effects of the cleaning agent on the pruning tools. It doesn't mention chainsaw sanitation, but it's something.

Sterilized Pruning Tools: Nuisance or Necessity?

It'd be interesting to do a biological study on the issue as far as chainsaws go.
