Uptake and elimination of poliovirus by West Coast oysters

Uptake and elimination of poliovirus by West Coast oysters

R Di Girolamo et al. Appl Microbiol. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

Accumulation of poliovirus Lsc-2ab by West Coast oysters was determined by using a stationary seawater system, and depuration was determined by using both stationary and free-flow systems. Results indicate that these shellfish have the same pattern of accumulation and localization of viruses as do East Coast species. However, uptake appeared to occur more rapidly than described for East Coast shellfish. There appeared to be a gradual diffusion of virus from the digestive area into the body. Depuration was found to occur more rapidly and completely under free-flow conditions than in a stationary system.
