Abstract

ABSTRACT Commercial Atlantic blue crabs ( Callinectes sapidus ) were exposed to 2.0 × 10 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.
