We are happy to announce that the 10th ASM Conference on Biofilms will be held in Portland, Oregon, from Nov 9-13, 2025. We look forward to gathering the biofilm community for what should be a fantastic meeting. See the ASM website for details. asm.org/Events/ASM-Bio…

Interesting #H5N1 preprint on wastewater just dropped. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Three take-homes: 1. Can H5 be detected in wastewater? Yes, one company (Verily) now has an assay. It's 100% specific. Huge first step.

Still monitoring Influenza A here in New Haven, CT wastewater and we've seen some small anomalous peaks in the off-season. InfA includes but does not specify H5N1 but testing a specific assay soon! yalecovidwastewater.com/influenza/ Irvan Luhung Kate Bowie, PhD Jordan Peccia

WastewaterSCAN and Verily developed a test to detect the H5 subtype of influenza in #wastewater to support tracking of the current #H5N1 outbreak. Program dir. Alexandria Boehm discusses with CNN: cnn.com/2024/04/30/hea…

Respiratory report update on H5N1: our assays detect influenza A, which includes H5N1. We're observing slight increases in flu A in the South, amidst declining respiratory virus activity nationally. Monitoring wastewater remains critical. Full report: biobot.io/risk-reports/i…

Data on H5 influenza is now live on our dashboard - new data will continue to come in as samples are tested.

Worth noting that the most recent US EPA drinking water needs assessment found a twenty-year capital improvement need of $625 billion for things like pipe replacement and treatment plant upgrades. We've got old water infrastructure that won't fix itself. epa.gov/dwsrf/epas-7th…
