	abstract = {The prevalence of human enteric viruses in bivalve molluscan shellfish and shrimp collected off the south west coast of India was studied to assess the extent of fecal pollution of coastal environment. Out of 194 samples analyzed, 37\% of oyster, 46\% of clam and 15\% of shrimp samples were positive for enteroviruses (EV). Adenoviruses (ADV) were detected in 17\% of oyster and 27\% of clam samples. However, other enteric viruses such as noroviruses (NoV) and hepatitis A virus (HAV) were not detected in any of the samples. High prevalence of EV and ADV was noticed between May to December. Thirty four percent of oyster and 49\% of clam samples showed fecal coliform values higher than the limit. MS-2 phage was detected in 57\% of oyster and 73\% of clam samples. The presence of MS-2 phage and human enteric viruses showed association while fecal coliforms and enteric viruses showed no association. However, 17 samples, which were positive for enteric viruses (EV and ADV), were negative for MS-2 phage.},
