Disinfection of Marek's disease virus in poultry dust.
Dust samples from farms contaminated with Marek's disease virus (MDV) were exposed to various disinfectants under experimental and field conditions. After the disinfection treatment, examination was made for the presence and oncogenicity of surviving MDV by the inoculation of tissue cultures and susceptible chickens. A combination of formaldehyde vapour and a preparation based on iodine bound to organic carriers appeared to be the most effective for disinfection.
