How long can a disease live outside the body?


How long can a disease, say Hepatitis C live outside the body and still be transferable?...Say, on a tissue or something?...I've heard that with some diseases they can hit air and die, while some can still be actively transferable even living outside the host body, I'm worried because my step father has Hep C and he was bleeding and left a bloody tissue in his trash can. My dog got into the trash, and started chewing the tissue so now I'm worried a little help?
----------

HCV is not transferred to animals and it is blood to bloodstream anyway...so I could chew on it and as long as I didn't have an open wound, I wouldn't get infected. (not that i'd chew on trash, but just giving an example.)

Your dog is fine. HCV can transmit if an object with hcv infectious blood enters the bloodstream of another human. Four days dried blood can still transmit)  (+ info)
