Wastewater is a mix of what’s gone down the drains in the community. Workers at sewer sites and wastewater treatment plants collect samples and send them to research labs that test them for virus-specific genetic data and document the trends for public health. “Right now the real risk is cattle-to-human contact,” said Scott Pegan, a professor of biomedical sciences at the University of California Riverside, who added that H5N1 is still very rare in humans. Only one person has been sickened during this outbreak. The individual became infected after working with sick dairy cows, and displayed only mild symptoms.About 880 people globally have had H5N1 over the past 21 years, according to the World Health Organization.
