- Abstract
The article evaluates the efficiency of the process for removing bacteria from commercial bivalves in removing Cryptosporidium from bivalves consumed in Portugal. Cryptosporidum parvum is an enteric zoonotic parasite that is often discharged into rivers and seas by rain and sewage treatment effluents. The author discusses the factors that contribute to possible failure of the currently used cleansing protocol.
