Virological screening of wild and farmed fish species: Application of innovative Taqman multiplex real-time PCR protocols

  • Autores: Andreia Filipa-Silva, Ricardo Parreira, Mónica Nunes, Maria Teresa Barreto Crespo
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Aquaculture, vol 54015, art 736693
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.736693

ABSTRACT Global demand for seafood is growing and fish stock maintenance becomes a pressing issue, making aquaculture production of capital importance in terms of fish resources sustainability. Therefore, fish disease outbreaks are a significant constraint to fisheries trade and aquaculture production, affecting economic development worldwide. In this study, a virological screening in wild and farmed fish […]

Development of a Tetraplex qPCR for the Molecular Identification and Quantification of Human Enteric Viruses, NoV and HAV, in Fish Samples

  • Autores: Andreia Filipa-Silva, Mónica Nunes, Ricardo Parreira, Maria Teresa Barreto Crespo
  • Ano de Publicação: 2021
  • Journal: Microorganisms, 9(6), art 1149
  • Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms9061149

ABSTRACT Human enteric viruses such as norovirus (NoV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) are some of the most important causes of foodborne infections worldwide. Usually, infection via fish consumption is not a concern regarding these viruses, since fish are mainly consumed cooked. However, in the last years, raw fish consumption has become increasingly common, especially […]
