Oysters In Arcachon Bay Temporarily Banned - France

File photo dated June 3, 2020 of open oysters ready for tasting in Gujan Mestras, France. French authorities have temporarily banned the fishing, harvesting and marketing of shellfish from a bay in the southwestern part of the country after detecting the presence of norovirus in oysters. The oysters were linked to several cases of foodborne illness, authorities said, with investigations still underway. But analyses carried out directly on the oysters found the presence of norovirus. No serious cases of the illness have been reported to date, authorities added. For oyster producers, the ban is hard to stomach as the shellfish is especially popular during the holidays.

LEDs for Medical Germicidal Lamps from Nitride Semiconductor

The inactivation of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, influenza virus and norovirus has already been verified at the virus center of the Sendai Medical Center of the National Hospital Organization (Miyagino Ward, Sendai City). The company plans to test the system on a new type of corona within the next month. UV and mercury lamps are used as germicidal lamps in medical facilities. However, UV lamps have a short life span and are easily broken, and the Minamata Convention on Mercury, an international regulation, will ban the manufacture, import and export of mercury-based lighting from 2021. Against this background, the spread of high-output deep UV LEDs is expected in the future. Photo taken on March 30, 2020 (location unknown), credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
