Wastewater samples across the United States have revealed elevated levels of enterovirus D68, a respiratory virus known to cause paralysis in some children. This surge has sparked concerns about a potential rise in cases nationwide.
Wastewater samples have shown elevated levels of a respiratory virus that has been linked to paralysis in some children, sparking concerns about potentially rising cases in the U.S., according to a report from WastewaterSCAN. The virus, enterovirus D68, is one of '100 non-polio enteroviruses,' according to Cleveland Clinic’s website. While the virus itself is common, neurological complications are 'relatively rare,' the clinic noted.
Wastewater samples can point to early warning signs of infectious diseases in a community, even before symptoms are detected, the CDC noted.
