Remover of pathogens transferring parasites in and out (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pasteurisation

'remover of pathogens' is the definition.
(process which eliminates pathogens)

'transferring parasites in and out' is the wordplay.
'transferring' is an anagram indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'parasites'+'in'='parasitesin'
'parasitesin' after 'out' is 'outparasitesin'.
'outparasitesin' anagrammed gives 'PASTEURISATION'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
