Implication

Differential viral clearance during oyster depuration may guide refined shellfish safety protocols; leaves open whether standard methods adequately mitigate HAV and NoV.

Structured PICO

Population

New Zealand grown Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) bioaccumulating hepatitis A virus (HAV), norovirus (NoV), and poliovirus (PV)

Intervention

Depuration (23-h cleansing period)

Outcome

Amount of viral RNA and number of plaque forming units in oyster gut, faeces, and pseudofaecessurrogate

Human enterically transmitted viruses are eliminated and inactivated at different rates by Pacific oysters, which has implications for risk management techniques for bivalve molluscs.
