Research on Parasitic Infections in Raw Seafood Industry

Abstract:

Seafood products has a long history and the teachings ‘Raw crabs and shrimp live’ spread among people. This study carrys out an investigation into parasitic infections of raw seafood of Qinhuangdao through sampling, smearing, UV examination and statistical methods. The experimental datas we get tell that there is various kinds of parasite lar-vae in body of shrimp frequently and metacercariae in crabs. The seafood likeoster and clam aren't without parasites also. Experiments show that the lung fl-uke metacercaria could live about 48 hours in Salt solution with concentration-f 10%, 43 hours in 15% liquor and 28 hours in 14 degrees of yellow wine. Itis obvious that these parasites could not killed through salt leaching and temul-entia. Due to domestic waters pollution is serious, so don't eat raw food.
