Yes, that's part of the whole purpose of pasteurization, there is ample proof that it is generally useful at that, and there is specific research showing that it is effective for avian flu. And that's just normal pasteurization, when GP said his potentially over-cautious approach is to only consume ultra-pasteurized milk if it sourced from the US.

okay I was under the impression that pasteurization only effected bacteria, and destroying virus required much higher temperatures, but looks like I was mistaken
