September 19, 2024 (San Diego) -- San Diego County has become the fifth location in California to report the environmental detection of H5 influenza virus, commonly referred to as bird flu.
This detection was made through wastewater testing conducted on Sept. 1, 2024, by WastewaterSCAN, a privately funded operation that monitors wastewater for pathogens at more than 150 sites nationwide and 57 sites across California. Regular follow up sampling has not detected any virus.
