Research progress in human infection with avian influenza H7N9 virus [PDF]
Since the identification of the novel reassortant avian influenza A (H7N9) virus in China in 2013, until Jun 30, 2017, the virus has caused five epidemic waves leading to a total of 1,552 human infections, with a fatality rate of about 40%. In the spring of 2017, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H7N9 virus emerged and has caused 25 human ...

Abstract Influenza A viruses (IAVs) pose a significant threat to global health, causing annual epidemics and occasional pandemics with substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the availability of vaccines and antiviral therapies, the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies remains a critical research focus.

Avian influenza H7N9 viruses continue to pose a great threat to public health, which is evident by their high case-fatality rates. Although H7N9 was first isolated in humans in China in 2013, to date, there is no commercial vaccine available against this

ABSTRACT Background and Aims H5N6 avian influenza has been a concern that can initiate the next global pandemic (called Disease X). Most infections have been among those in Asia, especially China, since the 2014 first human case. With a fatality rate of 61%, the virus is very deadly, even though the total number of human cases is relatively low.

Genomic Signatures for Avian H7N9 Viruses Adapting to Humans. [PDF]
An avian influenza A H7N9 virus emerged in March 2013 and caused a remarkable number of human fatalities. Genome variability in these viruses may provide insights into host adaptability.

ABSTRACT In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a public health research agenda for influenza to guide researchers and outline directions and priority areas for research on influenza aiming at reducing the burden of seasonal epidemic influenza and the risk and impact of pandemic influenza. The agenda was updated in 2017, but since then,

Epidemiology of the avian influenza A (H7N9) outbreak in Zhejiang Province, China [PDF]
A novel influenza A virus infection was identified on March 31, 2013 in China and a total of 134 cases were identified in 12 provinces of China between March 25 and September 31, 2013. Of these, 46 cases occurred in Zhejiang Province and the number of patients is the largest in China.Field investigations were conducted for each confirmed H7N9 case.
