ABSTRACT
The present study was performed in order to obtain reliable and applicable techniques of viral detection in shellfish for use in ensuring food safety. This research was developed in two steps: (a) different techniques to recover viruses from artificially contaminated shellfish were tested and (b) the best technique was applied to analyse shellfish collected from sites along the coast of Salento.
