這種寄生蟲對扁平牡蠣而言可能是致命的，然而受感染的生蠔沒有食用安全風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
新西蘭馬爾堡和尼爾森于2015年首次發(fā)現(xiàn)包那米蟲，但在其他地區(qū)出現(xiàn)尚屬首次。新西蘭初級產(chǎn)業(yè)部表示，這種寄生蟲通過洋流與船只傳播，所以很難控制和消滅。
部分原文報(bào)道如下：
The Ministry for Primary Industries （MPI） has today confirmed the detection of Bonamia ostreae in 2 oyster farms on Stewart Island.
Bonamia ostreae is a parasite that can be fatal for flat oysters. It has been in New Zealand since at least 2015 in the Marlborough Sounds and Nelson, but this is the first time it has been found in another area of New Zealand.
There is no food safety issue from eating oysters with Bonamia ostreae. Fresh, good quality New Zealand oysters continue to be safe to eat.
