< ADV is a very hardy virus, and has been shown to remain alive
outside a host for as long as 2 years. <

The virus had been left in a dusty lighting cable ducts and had been
overlooked in the decontamination of a mink farm. It was only after
electricians disturbed the cables that animals became ill. It has to be
easier to decontaminate a house with a good Parvocide. Chris.
