Candida auris is a fungal infection that primarily impacts places like hospitals and nursing homes. Now UNLV researchers are tracking it. They are looking at wastewater samples much like they have for Covid-19 and even monkeypox. The researchers report they have found positive samples of the deadly fungus at all seven sewer sheds in the Vegas Valley.

A new report shows that Southern Nevada has the highest number of cases of a potentially lethal fungus in the country.
