Commercial Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) were exposed to 2.0x10(4) infectious waterborne oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum. The study demonstrated that blue crabs can transfer C. parvum oocysts to persons involved in handling or preparing crabs and that they may contaminate other surfaces or products during storage.
商业捕捞的大西洋蓝蟹(学名:Callinectes sapidus)被暴露于2.0×10⁴个感染性的隐孢子虫小种水传播卵囊环境中。该研究表明,蓝蟹能够将隐孢子虫小种卵囊传播给参与处理或准备螃蟹的人员,并且在储存过程中它们可能会污染其他表面或产品。
