[Influence of environmental factors on the infection rates of fishes and shellfishes by trematodes of the Opisthorchidae family in the Krotovaya Lyaga Lake].

The relationship of the annual trends in the infection of crucians (Carassius carassius) (L.) with Opisthorchis felineus metacercariae, in that of verkhovkas (Leucasplius delineatus) (Hackel), and in that of lake minnows (Phoxinus percnurus) (L.) with O. felineus and Metorchis billis to the environmental factors under natural fluctuations of the level of water and under the man-made effects on the water regime of the reservoir was studied. When the level of water naturally changes, the infection of crucians with Metorchis was found to be affected by their size, water temperature, and environmental pH values, and the human Opisthorchis affliction depends on the severity of infection of commercial-sized crucians by metacercariae. The infestation of the verkhovka was determined by the temperature of water and that of the lake minnow was by its size and the increased areas of the lake with the depths salubrious to its existence. With man-made effects (dewatering for watering agricultural lands) on the water regime of the reservoir, the infestation of the lake minnow depended on its size in the shallow water and on the level of water. Environmental factors, such as pH values, the area of shallow waters, and the size of mollusks, positively affected the higher extensiveness of infestation of mollusks with the parthenitae of opisthorchid flukes.

[Diagnosing occupational diseases. Examples from shellfish industry.].

It is very important to report suspected occupational diseases in Iceland to the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health, so they can be diagnosed, investigated in details and improvements made. This article describes the illness of clam workers at Thornórshöfn, a small village in the northern part of Iceland. It lead to a detailed investigation and the diagnosis of clamworkers hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Many specialists participated in the study that lead to improvement in the factory that has benefitted the workers.

High-pressure liquid chromatography of benzo(a) pyrene and benzo (ghi) perylene in oil-contaminated shellfish.

A high-pressure liquid chromatographic procedure is described for the determination of benzo(a) pyrene and benzo(ghi) perylene. These polynuclear aromatics are extracted with acetonitrile and partitioned into petroleum ether, the petroleum ether is removed, and the residue is saponified. The compounds are purified and isolated by passing the residue through a silica gel column and a high-pressure liquid chromatographic column, and detected by their ultraviolet absorption. Recoveries of standards through the procedure averaged 104%.

[Isolation of Salmonella from marine shellfish].

The present paper reports the isolation of Salmonella from oysters and clams encountered in the marine waters of Santos and destined to the human consumption. The results obtained showed the characterization of 41 (59,43%) strains of Salmonella arizonae and 28 (40,57%) of Salmonella typhimurium, by its cultural biochemical and serological properties. The drug resistance of Salmonella to several antibiotics was also investigated by determining the minimal inhibitory concentration in serial agar plate dilutions of the therapeutic agents.
