FIGURE 1.

This figure consists of a series of boxes and circles illustrating wastewater polio test results by jurisdiction in 13 counties in New York and New York City during March 9–October 11, 2022.

Wastewater* polio test results,† by jurisdiction§ (N = 1,053) — 13 counties in New York and New York City, March 9–October 11, 2022

Abbreviation: PV2 = poliovirus type 2.

* Sampling sites are sewersheds defined as the community area served by a wastewater collection system.

† Testing was conducted to determine if a sample was negative or positive for PV2, and if positive for PV2, whether the PV2 was genetically linked to an unvaccinated paralytic poliomyelitis patient from Rockland County, New York identified in July 2022. Some samples had sequencing insufficient to determine relation to the Rockland County patient (i.e., linkage to patient unknown). Indeterminate results are excluded from this figure. Indeterminate results include those from samples that tested positive using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, but not enough viral material was available to complete sequencing. Specimens pending sequencing results are also excluded.

§ Number of samples in each jurisdiction include New York City (408) and the following New York counties: Rockland (124), Putnam (20), Orange (280), Nassau (85), Sullivan (21), Westchester (83), Suffolk (14), and Ulster (18).
