Shellfish are known as vectors for human pathogens and despite regulation based on
enteric bacteria they are still implicated in viral outbreaks. Among shellfish, oysters are the …

Foodborne viruses, especially noroviruses (NoV), are increasingly reported as the cause of
foodborne outbreaks. NoV outbreaks have been reported linked to fresh soft red fruits and …

The contamination of bivalve shellfish with norovirus from human fecal sources is
recognized as an important human health risk. Standardized quantitative methods for the …

We review the risk of norovirus (NoV) infection to the human population from consumption of
contaminated shellfish. From a UK perspective, risk is apportioned for different vectors of …

Safeguarding the seafood industry is important given its contribution to supporting our
growing global population. However, shellfish are filter feeders that bioaccumulate microbial …

Pollution of coastal waters can result in contamination of bivalve shellfish with human enteric
viruses, including norovirus (NoV), and oysters are commonly implicated in outbreaks …

The viruses primarily associated with shellfish-borne illness are norovirus, causing
gastroenteritis and hepatitis A virus (HAV). Recent years have seen a proliferation of …

Oysters are frequently associated with norovirus outbreaks, but the presence of norovirus
RNA in oysters does not necessarily imply a health risk to humans. There is a close link …

Because of increasing demand for rapid results, molecular techniques are now applied for
the detection of microorganisms in foodstuffs. However, interpretation problems can arise for …

Noroviruses (NoVs) are the major cause of acute epidemic gastroenteritis in industrialized
countries. Outbreak strains are predominantly genogroup II (GII) NoV, but genogroup I (GI) …
