废水测试早期检测出麻疹爆发,但资金削减威胁到国家监测系统。 Wastewater testing detects measles outbreaks early, but funding cuts threaten the national surveillance system.

根据疾控中心的两项新研究,废水检测证明在诊断病例之前两周至两个月内有效检测麻疹疫情。 Wastewater testing is proving effective in detecting measles outbreaks weeks to over two months before clinical cases, according to two new CDC studies. 在科罗拉多州和俄勒冈州,早期发现有助于更快的反应和遏制。 In Colorado and Oregon, early detection enabled faster response and containment. 国家监测系统覆盖1 300个地点,跟踪COVID-19、脊髓灰质炎和天花等疾病,在拟议特朗普行政预算下面临潜在的资金削减,这将把年度支助从1.25亿美元减少到2 500万美元,威胁到其可持续性。 The national surveillance system, covering 1,300 sites and tracking diseases like COVID-19, polio, and mpox, faces potential funding cuts under a proposed Trump administration budget that would reduce annual support from $125 million to $25 million, threatening its sustainability.
