Sanitary significance of non-point pollution on shellfish-growing waters / John Tabak.: En40-922/1983E-PDF
"Bivalve molluscs are unique as food items in this hemisphere, as they are often eaten raw or partially cooked, with the entire animal being consumed, including the gastrointestinal tract and its contents. Because of their mode of feeding, bivalves can accumulate many substances which occur in their growing waters. If fecal contamination was present in the growing area, the potential exists for accumulating and concentrating pathogenic organisms. They are thus well fitted to serve as dispensers of human diseases with a fecal-oral route of spread"--Introduction, page 1.
