There are various ways of destroying the avian flu virus. The best precaution to avoid the infection is to sanitize and disinfect the contaminated surfaces in order to prevent the spread of virus. |
The commonly recommended disinfectants include diluted household bleach containing chlorine, hand wash containing 60 - 95 percent alcohol, disinfectants which contain iodine or formalin, etc. The viruses also get destroyed in acidic environments. You can sterilize the contaminated equipment and clothes in boiling water for about half an hour to destroy the virus.
While consuming poultry, you need to make sure that you cook the meat to a safe internal temperature of 165°F. While cooking egg products, make sure that the yolk and white are hard for safe consumption.
Reports have stated that a new compound with the enigmatic name NSC89853, is able to effectively destroy the viral strains causing avian flu by blocking the rapid replication capabilities of the virus and may prove to be highly powerful to battle against the pathogens.
Some of the UV purification systems that have been developed in the recent past have been successful in combating the fatal effects of avian flu by limiting the spreading of the disease in both public and also working environments. The radiations emitted by the system attacks the DNA and also destroy the moulds, bacteria, viruses and any other harmful microorganisms that pass through. The UV system has been tested for its efficiency and the results have been pretty positive and are also found to prevent other fatal diseases like airborne tuberculosis.
