This study examines the relationships between concentrations of human noroviruses (NoV)
genogroups I (GI) and II (GII) and Escherichia coli monitored in oysters from 31 commercial …

Norovirus (NoV) is the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis outbreaks in the world.
These outbreaks are frequently associated with bivalve shellfish consumption, particularly …

Sea urchin gonads are today considered a gourmet food but despite eaten raw, not much
attention has been given to microbiological quality. This study evaluated the microbial …

The consumption of raw oyster has been linked to numerous foodborne gastroenteritis
outbreaks caused by norovirus (NoV) in different countries of the world, including in China …

EC Regulation 854/2004 requires the classification of bivalve mollusc harvesting areas
according to the faecal pollution status of sites. It has been reported that determination of …

Norovirus (NoV) contamination of filter feeding bivalve shellfish is a well-recognised human
health threat when shellfish are grown in sewage polluted waters. To date, the identification …

Human noroviruses are the leading cause of non-bacterial shellfish associated
gastroenteritis. Here we report on the detection and characterization of norovirus (NoV) in …

This paper reports a study of norovirus (NoV) GII distribution and persistence in Sydney rock
oysters (SRO)(Saccostrea glomerata) located in an estuary after a pump station sewage …

Using samples from oysters clearly implicated in human disease, we quantified norovirus
levels by using digital PCR. Concentrations varied from 43 to 1,170 RNA copies/oyster. The …

Detection of noroviruses in bivalve shellfish is difficult because of the low concentration of
norovirus and the presence of reverse transcription (RT)-PCR inhibitors. This study aimed to …
