Oregon Wastewater Surveillance

  Oregon Avian Influenza A(H5) Data published on CDC NWSS Dashboard. As of today, Oregon’s H5 data is now available on the CDC NWSS Avian Influenza A(H5) Dashboard. According to the website:

“Wastewater surveillance may complement other existing human surveillance systems to monitor influenza.  Wastewater data cannot determine the source of influenza A viruses. Detections could come from a human or from an animal (like a bird) or an animal product (like milk from an infected cow).”

“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” … 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.”

 Updated OSU Wastewater Surveillance Website. We have updated our Wastewater Surveillance Website to include a link to the CDC NWSS H5 Dashboard and direct links to Oregon data on the Influenza, RSV, and COVID CDC NWSS Dashboards.

 Need Stamps? If you need additional stamps for older envelopes, please send us the number of stamps needed and approximate amount.  This applies to the small stamps with a specified value (bottom envelope), not the large postage-paid return labels (top envelope). Thank you!
