“By tracking the percentage of specimens tested that are positive for influenza A viruses, we can monitor for unusual increases in influenza activity that may be an early sign of spread of novel influenza A viruses, including H5N1,” the CDC said in its report.

A new dashboard from the CDC aims to help track the spread of bird flu as the federal government looks to monitor and contain the virus.

A new dashboard to monitor the spread of bird flu has been released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), as rates rise among dairy cows across the US. The health agency draws on data from wastewater sampling sites that have tested positive for influenza A.

The dashboard and interactive map use data from wastewater sampling sites to track which areas are seeing a large increase compared to last year.
