Carcasses Of Buried Birds Continue To Host Bird Flu Virus For 2 Years
"The assumption was that once it's in the landfill, there's no more question about whether it's infectious. This is suggestive that carcasses will likely remain infectious when they're placed in a landfill and for a period of time after that," says Bartelt-Hunt.
The new work suggests that the bodies should get covered quickly to raise their temperature, or to make the landfill more acidic or basic to deactivate the virus as quicly as possible.
"In general, waste disposal is one of those things that's just 'out of sight, out of mind'. Once it gets there, people tend to think it's just gone and they don't have to worry about it ... It's hard to say if waste disposal is this huge unknown red flag out there, but I think having some consistent guidelines is important," says Bartelt-Hunt.
