Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. To develop relevant screening tests using modern molecular biology techniques, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to detect common pathogens transmitted by commercial oysters and other shellfish. The screen would include: E.coli, Vibrio vulniffcus, Reoviruses and Adenovirus
2. Develop molecular biology techniques for the detection of specific viral pathogens which occur rarely or seasonally in commercial shellfish i.e. Hepatitis A virus, enteroviruses, rotavirus and Nrowalk viruses
3. Develop molecular biology techniques to detect new Australian Norwalk viurses i.e. determine their genetic sequence and other physiochemical characteristics
