HuNoV GII wastewater levels at 5 wastewater treatment plants in 2021–2022. A. Comparison of PMMoV-normalized HuNoV GII levels from 5 WWTPs in Michigan from 2021–2022. HuNoV was quantified in influent samples using ddPCR at least weekly and PMMoV normalized values were plotted over one year. The only exception is TM, where sample collection began later, in January 2022. Lines connect all values measured for each WWTP. B. Seasonal HuNoV GII values in log10 (median, IQR) for each individual WWTP ar Credit: Ammerman et al, 2024. CC-BY 4.0
