Abstract:Shellfish are readily contaminated with viruses present in water containing sewage due to the concentrating effect of filter feeding. Enteroviruses are generally used as a model for the detection of viruses from shellfish due to their public health significance. In the present work, oysters were placed in glass aquaria containing seawater plus unicellular algae. Two experiments were performed: 1) oysters bioaccumulating four different poliovirus type 2 concentrations: 5 x 10 4 , 2.5 x 10 4 , 5 x 10 3 and 5 x 1… Show more
