A summary of the Illness Associated Organisms which can affect Molluscan Shellfish Safety

Summary

This report describes the main causative agents and the testing and control measures routinely adopted to protect the public. This report was originally written as an appendix to a report on the first International Converence on Molluscan Shellfish Safety, to provide background information on the illnesses discussed during the conference. This conference, at which Seafish presented a paper on some of their recent work on Mollusc Depuration, was held in November 1994 at the University of New South Wales, Sydeney, New South Wales, Australia.
