Having cold-like symptoms? It’s that time of year again when those sniffles or cough can mean anything from #influenza to #covid, or #RSV to #HMPV. WastewaterSCAN program director Dr. Marlene Wolfe breaks down current #wastewater data trends and what we can expect this spring.

HMPV Detections Surge Across US: Should You Be Worried

Infographic titled 'What is HMPV?' with an illustration of a sick child in bed. Text explains that HMPV is a respiratory virus similar to RSV, causing symptoms like cough and fever. It spreads through droplets and contact, with cases peaking in winter and spring.
Infographic titled 'What does the wastewater data tell us?' shows two sections. A figure coughing represents HMPV trends in wastewater, indicating disease circulation. Another section highlights HMPV testing's specificity, differing from similar viruses like RSV. A person sneezing on a tissue conveys illness symptoms.
Infographic about HMPV risk and prevention. Highlights vulnerability of young children, elderly, and immune-compromised. Includes prevention tips like covering coughs and washing hands. Features a woman wearing a mask and links for more info.
A line graph showing aggregated concentrations of HMPV nationally. Levels are high and trends generally appear to be increasing.
Did you know? Human metapneumavirus (HMPV) was discovered in 2001. It’s estimated about 10-12% of respiratory illnesses in children are caused by #HMPV. WastewaterSCAN’s monitoring data help us see when infections are increasing in communities.

Human metapnuemovirus has been spreading around in Southern California. I’m saying this because the Transformers Convention is happening right now in Los Angeles. It’s a common virus that causes cold like symptoms. Stay safe. #tfconla #tfcon #hmpv #cdc

It's spreading fast, coast to coast, mask up and wash hands!

It's spreading fast, everywhere, but how much have you heard about it? Not much, right?
Mask up (it's a respiratory virus), wash hands, stay home if you've got it. If symptoms worsen, see your doctor immediately.
What to know about the virus, human metapneumovirus or #HMPV, with no vaccine, treatment hitting certain states
www.yahoo.com/health/condi...
![Before the pandemic hit in 2020, Americans were regularly exposed to seasonal viruses like HMPV and developed a degree of natural immunity, August said.
That protection waned during the pandemic, as people stayed home or kept their distance from others. So when people resumed normal activities, they were more vulnerable to the virus. Unlike other viruses, there isn't a vaccine for human metapneumovirus.
"That's why after the pandemic we saw record-breaking childhood viral illnesses because we lacked the usual immunity that we had, just from lack of exposure," August said.
"All of that also led to longer viral seasons, more severe illness. But all of these things have settled down in many respects."
In 2024, the national test positivity for HMPV peaked at 11.7% at the end of March, according to the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System. The following year's peak was 7.15% in late April.
So far this year, the highest test positivity rate documented was 6.1%, reported on Feb. 21 - the most recent date for which complete data are available.

Because dummies put vital health info behind a fucking paywall (a practice which should be outlawed), here’s the 411 on the seasonally high concentrations of human metapneumovirus, or #HMPV floating around (mostly) Northern California and a bit in Los Angeles, too.
Timely!

Lesser-known virus rises in Northern California. What is human metapneumovirus?
->Yakima Herald | More on "Human metapneumovirus Northern California outbreak" at BigEarthData.ai | #Virus #Hmpv
Human metapneumovirus, or #HMPV, has been steadily ticking upward since the start of winter,
data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.
The virus, first discovered in 2001,
can cause upper and lower respiratory illness in anybody,
but especially in young kids, older adults […]
A majority of Northern California communities have seen high concentrations of human metapneumovirus, or #HMPV, detected in their wastewater.
🎥 New data on #hMPV in patients with hematologic malignancies: @salmantongarcia.bsky.social highlights how the lack of prophylaxis & treatment increases hospitalizations, ICU needs, and mortality.
