Monitoring for Avian Influenza A(H5) Virus In Wastewater
Wastewater surveillance may complement other existing human influenza surveillance systems to monitor influenza. Data on wastewater testing for influenza A viruses can be found through CDC's National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS). In addition to influenza A virus data, CDC receives weekly avian influenza A(H5) virus data from an academic partner (approximately 150 sites) and some state health departments. In each site, wastewater sampling and testing occurs one or more times during the week.
Wastewater data cannot determine the source of avian influenza A(H5) viruses. They could come from a human or from an animal (like a bird) or an animal product (like milk from an infected cow), and detections of avian influenza A(H5) virus in wastewater do not necessarily indicate human cases.

This interactive map shows current site-level data for avian influenza A(H5) viral RNA detections in wastewater. Each dot on the map represents a wastewater sampling site. For each site, results are reported as "H5 Detection" when any of the samples were positive during the week reported. When avian influenza A(H5) virus is not detected in any of the samples, then the site is classified as "No Detection." All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received. Data will be updated on this site every Friday, based on data submitted to CDC by the end of the day on the previous Wednesday.
Time Period: November 17 - November 23, 2024
