KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (KUNA) -- A team of Indonesian veterinarians has developed a disinfectant spray said to have the ability to kill the bird-flu virus.
The disinfectant could be used to spray the cages and nests of fowls that died from H5N1, one of the most dangerous strains of avian influenza that can be deadly in humans, to prevent it from spreading, the Malaysian radio quoted Tuesday the team from Airlangga University in Surabaya, East Java, as saying.
The team expects the new disinfectant spray to prevent the bird-flu virus from infecting humans, Fedik Abdul Rantam, a professor at the university's veterinary school, was quoted as saying.
