Ahh I saw the item - I have to say I take the same view
as Chris Packham (Autumn Watch views on Grey squirrel control) on this issue. Where the Wall lizards are at an interface with sand lizards then there may be a case to control the animals. Though has the virus been implicated in any deaths yet? I suppose we cannot afford to find out J |

David, Just how dangerous is the virus that has been
isolated from the Wall Lizards? I seem to remember that this was found in captive reptiles - possibly a serious risk for consultants who also keep reptiles eh? J |

Jon, there is a disinfectant on the market which starts with name 'Ampro' (no advertising i guess ) and this is one of todays standard 'superstrength' hand sterilising gels used by hobbyists etc to prevent the spread of viruses between different species during handling. The makers of which claim it stops the transmission of harmful pathogens and bacteria etc, but how reliable the stuff is i do not really know in all honesty. I use it but nevertheless it is mainly alcohol based and on the basis of that - it may not be enough. Edited by Alex2 |
