Recovery, bioaccumulation, and inactivation of human waterborne pathogens by the Chesapeake Bay nonnative oyster, Crassostrea ariakensis

Article Abstract:

The recovery efficiency of human waterborne pathogens and the bioaccumulation, depuration and inactivation rates of these pathogens by commercial market-size Crassostrea ariakensis triploids maintained in water of various salinity levels representing the salinity range of the Chesapeake Bay are determined. Aquacultures of nonnative oysters in the Chesapeake Bay have provided good ecological services in regard to efficient cleaning of human-infectious agents from the estuarine waters.

Reverse transcription-booster PCR for detection of noroviruses in shellfish

Article Abstract:

The development of an reverse transcription(RT)-booster PCR for the detection of Noroviruses ( NVs) both in shellfish and clinical samples is discussed. The reverse transcription-PCR method demonstrated an increase in sensitivity at least 2 log units for all the NV strains examined compared with the standard RT-PCR method and higher sensitivity was confirmed in tests on experimentally and naturally contaminated shellfish.
