TL;DR: Both sources in the Yangtze River Delta region and the Pearl RiverDelta region have been established and found to be responsible for the H7N9 outbreaks in mainland China, posing a long-term threat of H7n9 infection in humans.

TL;DR: An evolutionary analysis of H7N9 viruses from all five outbreak waves finds that additional subclades of the H7 and N9 genes have emerged, and suggests that the largest outbreak of wave V may be due to a constellation of genes rather than a single mutation.

TL;DR: Although the surveyed epidemiologic, clinical, and genetic data of human infections with A(H5N6) viruses found no evidence of human-to-human transmission, continuous evolution of H5N 6 viruses may increase the risk for human infections.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the epidemiology, antigenic and genetic characteristics, and antiviral susceptibility of influenza viruses in the mainland of China during 2020-2021.

TL;DR: In mainland China, seasonal influenza disease burden at community level is unknown and the incidence rate of influenza virus infections in the community is difficult to determine due to the lack of well‐defined catchment populations of influenza‐like illness surveillance sentinel hospitals.
