TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper identified a family cluster of two individuals infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus was identified in Jiangsu Province, China.

TL;DR: Infection control measures in live poultry markets are likely to reduce human H5N1 infection in China, because the genetic sequences of the environmental and corresponding human isolates were highly similar, demonstrating a link between human infection and liveoultry markets.

TL;DR: To prevent human influenza H5N1 in China, the level of education about avoiding direct or close exposures to sick or dead poultry should be increased, and interventions to prevent the spread of influenza H 5N1 at live poultry markets should be implemented.

TL;DR: This work develops a computational method, denoted as PREDAC, to predict antigenic clusters of influenza A (H3N2) viruses with high accuracy from viral HA sequences and demonstrates that the coupling of large-scale HA sequencing withPREDAC can significantly improve vaccine strain recommendation for China.

TL;DR: In this paper, two recombinant baculovirus-expressed human antibodies (rhAbs), AVFluIgG01 and AVFfluIggG03, generated by screening a Fab antibody phage library derived from a patient recovered from infection with a highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 clade 2.3 virus.
