Yep, it sure is.
I figured people can read that themselves.

Anytime you are treating housing it's a very good idea to keep birds out until the product dries.I’m hearing a lot about virkon, and I have confirmed Mareks in my flock. Does anyone know if you have to remove the birds from the area that you are treating??
Hello. I know your post is from 2009. But I’m wondering if you have a fresh link to the article you mention above your tiny url link. It only goes to buying a bottle of vaccine. I don’t see the article and would love to read it. Thanks!!Well you'll definitely get a hug or three /hug hug hug!
I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. You might want to check out this article on mareks vaccination and doing it in older birds who show symptoms; it also holds a bit of an answer to your question:

In the mean time, I would treat all of your birds with Corid as it gets all 9 species of the cocci without being antibiotic in nature.
Remember, mareks is more than in the soil and the birds. It's in the dander, etc. But vaccinating correctly - as in the article - and using boosters, quarantining very carefully for the first few months of life, can go a LONG way in preventing the big problems with marek's - the paralysis, neoplasias, and ocular changes. There's hope.

I know this is an older post, but I would really like to see the information about giving boosters. Unfortunately, this link http://tinyurl.com/kvdkg9 isn't working. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks!Bleach won't kill anything as it's inactivated when it hits dirt. YOu'll want to use one of the other disinfectants.
Here's an article that tells you which disinfectant types work for which situations (in other words, which don't work on dirt, but only on surfaces)

Another article specifically on Hygiene against Marek's.

Note that you can't just really build in another place as the Marek's is carried in the dander unfortunately. Dander is already blown onto your whole property. You just have to spray wherever you can with something that is effective in the type of situation (dirt, surfaces, etc), where you build your new coops, etc. And you have to vaccinate. It's quite simple, just sounds trickier than it is. Of course, as I said before, please read the other article on giving the boosters and keeping the birds free from challenges in the first part of their lives to allow the Marek's vaccine to take effect.
here's Oxine's efficacy sheet:

I'd look for disinfectants that are active against the avian herpesvirus. Marek's is allid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2) . And obviously I'd use dlh's recommendation as it specifically lists the Marek's virus.
