The contamination of these organisms is primarily associated with the exposure of coastal waters to human and agricultural effluents, which introduce pathogens into the aquatic environment. Due to their filter-feeding activity, bivalves can bioaccumulate these pathogens, and because they are often consumed raw or undercooked, contaminated bivalves may pose a public health risk. Hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and norovirus genogroups I and II (NoV GI and NoV GII) are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as major etiological agents responsible for numerous foodborne outbreaks worldwide. The absence of established regulatory limits for viral contamination in food has driven the development of molecular approaches to generate scientific evidence and support risk assessment and control strategies. In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of HAV, HEV, NoV GI, and NoV GII in commercially available mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis). A total of 78 pooled samples, each comprising digestive tissues from four to five mussels, were collected from retail markets between February and December 2025 and during January and February 2026 and were analyzed by reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). NoV GII RNA was detected in 5 pooled samples, corresponding to an overall pool-level positivity of 6.4% (5\/78; exact 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.1\u201314.3%), while HAV, HEV, and NoV GI were not detected (0\/78; exact 95% CI: 0.0\u20134.6%). RNA concentrations in positive pooled samples were low, with a mean of 143.3 \u00b1 132.4 copies\/g, a median of 120.0 copies\/g, and cycle threshold (Ct) values consistent with low-level RNA detection. Overall, the findings indicate a low but detectable pool-level positivity of NoV GII in commercially available depurated mussels. The detection of viral RNA in retail mussels indicates previous exposure to viral contamination and supports the importance of continued virus-specific surveillance of commercially available bivalves.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms14092099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]],"date-time":"2026-09-21T10:25:43Z","timestamp":1789986343000},"page":"2099","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Occurrence
