The results of monitoring for diseases beyond COVID-19 are now publicly available for Ann Arbor, Flint, Jackson, Tecumseh and Ypsilanti

A public dashboard that tracks pathogens detected in wastewater just added monitoring for monkeypox, influenza-A, norovirus GII and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

The project, which has been providing information about community COVID-19 levels through wastewater monitoring since 2021, is a collaboration between researchers in civil and environmental engineering and public health at the University of Michigan.
