Eighty-seven samples of shellfish were collected considering: type of mollusc, origin, growing area, monitoring or for human purpose. The bacteriological parameters were: Fecal Coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella; whereas the virological parameters included: Hepatitis A and E virus, Rotavirus, Astrovirus and Enterovirus. In total, 63.2% of samples had normal bacteria values, only one sample was Salmonella positive. The percentage of positive samples for Hepatitis A virus was 5.7%, Rotavirus 29.9%, Astrovirus 27.6%, Enterovirus 10.3%. The recovery of hepatitis E virus was always negative, whereas 13 samples (14.9%) were positive for two viruses.

Abstract

Eighty-seven samples of shellfish were collected considering: type of mollusc, origin, growing area, monitoring or for human purpose. The bacteriological parameters were: Fecal Coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella; whereas the virological parameters included: Hepatitis A and E virus, Rotavirus, Astrovirus and Enterovirus. In total, 63.2% of samples had normal bacteria values, only one sample was Salmonella positive. The percentage of positive samples for Hepatitis A virus was 5.7%, Rotavirus 29.9%, Astrovirus 27.6%, Enterovirus 10.3%. The recovery of hepatitis E virus was always negative, whereas 13 samples (14.9%) were positive for two viruses.
