Texas Influenza Activity Map - Week Ending January 5, 2013 #1358222 (License: Personal Use)

The map displays statewide influenza surveillance data for the week ending January 5, 2013 (2013 MMWR Week 1), using a color-coded legend to differentiate activity levels: gray for no reporting, white for no activity, blue for influenza-like illness only, cyan for rapid test positive, yellow for Flu A (culture/PCR confirmed), green for Flu B (culture/PCR confirmed), and red for co-circulating Flu A and B. Counties are shaded accordingly, revealing regional hotspots-particularly in central and eastern Texas-where dual-subtype circulation was confirmed. The data reflects public health reporting from local health departments and labs.

Used in public health dashboards, CDC/MMWR reports, and epidemiological briefings to communicate real-time flu burden and guide interventions; matches user intent for historical disease tracking, academic research, or policy analysis.
