Influenza A viruses (IAV) of subtype H9N2, endemic in world-wide poultry holdings, are reported to cause spill-over infections to pigs and humans and have also contributed substantially to recent reassortment-derived pre-pandemic zoonotic viruses of ...

Glycan-Receptor Binding of the Influenza A Virus H7N9 Hemagglutinin
SUMMARY The advent of H7N9, in early 2013, is of concern for a number of reasons, including its capability to infect humans, the etiology of infection is unclear, and that, broadly the human population does not have pre-existing immunity to the H7 ...

Induction of Cross-Reactive Antibodies to Novel H7N9 Influenza Virus by Recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus Expressing a North American Lineage H7 Subtype Hemagglutinin [PDF]
ABSTRACT Severe human disease caused by the emerging H7N9 influenza virus in China warrants a rapid response. Here, we present a recombinant Newcastle disease virus expressing a North American lineage H7 influenza virus hemagglutinin.

Development of an Influenza Rapid Diagnostic Kit Specific for the H7 Subtype
Since the spring of 2013, human infections with H7N9 viruses have been detected in China. Some of these viruses have become highly pathogenic. Highly and low pathogenic avian influenza H7N9 viruses are currently co-circulating with the seasonal influenza

Characterization of an H7N9 Influenza Virus Isolated from Camels in Inner Mongolia, China
H5 subtype avian influenza viruses can cause serious diseases in poultry and wild birds. On rare occasions, viruses can cause cross-species transmission to mammalian species, including humans, pigs, horses, canines, seals, and minks.

Use of fractional factorial design to study the compatibility of viral ribonucleoprotein gene segments of human H7N9 virus and circulating human influenza subtypes [PDF]
Avian H7N9 influenza viruses may pose a further threat to humans by reassortment with human viruses, which could lead to generation of novel reassortants with enhanced polymerase activity. We previously established a novel statistical approach to study the polymerase activity of reassorted vRNPs (Influenza Other Respir Viruses. 2013;7:969‐78). Here, we

Cocirculation of Three Hemagglutinin and Two Neuraminidase Subtypes of Avian Influenza Viruses in Huzhou, China, April 2013: Implication for the Origin of the Novel H7N9 Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACT We detected three avian influenza hemagglutinin (HA) subtypes (H7, H9, and H5) and two neuraminidase (NA) subtypes (N9 and N2), as well as H7N9-related H9N9 reassortant intermediates, cocirculating among poultry in Huzhou, China, during April 2013.
