Wastewater Surveillance for Influenza A Virus and H5 Subtype Concurrent with the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Outbreak in Cattle and Poultry and Associated Human Cases — United States, May 12–July 13, 2024
As part of the response to the highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus outbreak in U.S. cattle and poultry and the associated human cases, CDC and partners are monitoring influenza A virus levels and detection of the H5 subtype in wastewater. Among 48 states and the District of Columbia that performed influenza A testing of wastewater during May 12-July 13, 2024, a weekly average of 309 sites in 38 states had sufficient data for analysis, and 11 sites in four states reported high levels of influenza A virus. H5 subtype testing was conducted at 203 sites in 41 states, with H5 detections at 24 sites in nine states. For each detection or high level, CDC and state and local health departments evaluated data from other influenza surveillance systems and partnered with wastewater utilities and agriculture departments to investigate potential sources. Among the four states with high influenza A virus levels detected in wastewater, three states had corresponding evidence of human influenza activity from other influenza surveillance systems. Among the 24 sites with H5 detections, 15 identified animal sources within the sewershed or adjacent county, including eight milk-processing inputs. Data from these early investigations can help health officials optimize the use of wastewater surveillance during the upcoming respiratory illness season.

The virus incubates and mutates into more lethal forms in filthy, crowded chicken and turkey factory farms. It is then spread by migratory birds and transmitted to humans who come in contact with infected birds in factory farms or live markets common in Asia and U.S. ethnic neighborhoods. The 1957 Asian flu pandemic and the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic, each claiming a million lives, were blamed on mutated viruses from factory-farmed pigs. Regarding your letter writer's defining pro-choice advocates as zealots because she thinks their wish to protect a woman's right to an abortion is wrong [\"Issues of women's health,\" Letters, Dec. 6]: Webster's Dictionary defines a zealot as \"a fanatical partisan.\" That term is more appropriately applied to those anti-abortionists who harass women entering Planned Parenthood offices, shoot doctors who perform abortions, and bomb clinics. I don't recall any doctor killed or hospital bombed for refusing to perform an abortion. Last evening I had the wonderful, uplifting experience of hearing the Hempstead High School Show Choir. Having directed young choirs for many years, I was greatly impressed by the talent in this young vocal group. What a pleasure to hear high school students use their true voices and really sing! Their performance at the United Methodist Church on Washington Street in Hempstead was mostly a cappella and demonstrated a variety of musical styles. Directed by the energetic and upbeat Rachel Blackburn, their totally memorized performance demonstrated the tremendous dedication and effort necessary to achieve excellence.
