The Dogmother Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 From what I remember it is primarily transmitted either by biting insects or bird-to-bird contact. However, i'd not take any chances and I'm sure that your friend would be understanding if you asked them not to pop around while they still have it active in their flock. Two good poultry disinfectants are Virkon or NetTex's Viratec. I am sure that you could find out more information etc if you Googled though.
