Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper reviews briefly the viral, bacterial, and toxic diseases borne by shellfish that are transmissible to man. Methods available to cleanse or depurate contaminated bivalves are also presented. Each method is evaluated with regard to 1) present and past use, 2) economic cost benefits, and 3) ability to prevent disease transmission.
