Not knowing, I began to look it up:
_Ferrets, Rabbits, and Rodents..._, page 79:
"CDV is relatively labile, and its infectivity is destroyed by heat,
drying, detergents, and disinfectants. Routine cleaning and
disinfection procedures are effective in destroying CDV on hard
surfaces."
Didn't find anything in _Essentials of Ferrets_.
In _Biology and Diseases of the Ferret_ there is a brief mention
of disinfecting cages on page 360. BTW, in that text a 2 week
quarantine of new ferrets is recommended in case any have
CDV.
Sorry, but that's the best I can do...
