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

Has any one got a link for the inside out show that featured the wall lizards?

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?

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.
