Has anyone determined how long the ECE virus can survive outside of a host?
My context is for items/places/etc.  that can't be disinfected after
exposure.
 
At the risk of reviving an old debate: has there been any conclusive data
concerning how long an ECE positive ferret can potentially be infectious?
or more importantly - is there a well defined time period after which an
ECE ferret can no longer pass on the virus?
 
Thanks for any updates,
