TL;DR: It is shown that the emerging H7N9 avian influenza virus poses a potentially high risk to humans, and current seasonal vaccination could not provide protection.

TL;DR: The fatal case of a patient in China who was infected with an A(H7N9) virus having a polybasic amino acid sequence at its hemagglutinin cleavage site (PEVPKRKRTAR/GL), a sequence suggestive of high pathogenicity in birds, is reported.

TL;DR: This study comprehensively analyzed the sequences of HPAI H7N9 viruses from 28 human and 21 environmental samples covering eight provinces in China that were taken from November 2016 to June 2017 and showed that the ancestor virus of the HPAi H7n9 viruses originated in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological characterisation of the emerged highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H7N9) viruses in humans, in mainland China, 2016 to 2017

TL;DR: The insertion of four amino acids at the haemagglutinin cleavage site enabled trypsin-independent infectivity of this virus and the neuraminidase substitution R292K conferred a multidrug resistance phenotype.
