Fig. 2: Abundance and detection frequencies of Pan-FluA, H5, and PMMoV viral genes in passive samples collected from a freshwater river.
From: Detection of avian influenza virus in surface waters using passive samplers
A displays gene copy (GC) concentrations per sampler for Pan-influenza A virus (Pan-FluA), influenza A virus hemagglutinin subtype H5, and Pepper Mild Mottle virus (PMMoV) at three sampling locations within a freshwater river (Sites 4A, 4B, and 4C) in Nova Scotia, Canada measured via RT-qPCR. Blue circles, red triangles, and green squares represent Pan-FluA, H5, and PMMoV detections, respectively. Site 4A is a drinking water intake, Site 4B is located downstream of wastewater effluent discharge, and Site 4C is a recreational water access point. GC values are plotted on a log10 scale. B summarizes detection frequency (percentage of positive detections from the total number of samples analyzed) for each viral target at each sampling site. Bars are grouped by site and colored by target: blue for Pan-FluA, red for H5, and green for PMMoV.
