Figure

Locations of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) enrolled in study to detect monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade Ib in wastewater solids at WWTPs, United States. Dark gray shading indicates states with enrolled sites. The red dot represents the location of the WWTP where there was a positive detection of MPXV clade Ib (n = 1), and the light blue dots represent participating WWTPs where no samples were positive for MPXV (n = 146).
