Novel avian influenza A(H7N9) virus in tree sparrow, Shanghai, China, 2013

Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 May;20(5):850-3. doi: 10.3201/eid2005.131707.

Abstract

In spring 2013, influenza A(H7N9) virus was isolated from an apparently healthy tree sparrow in Chongming Dongping National Forest Park, Shanghai City, China. The entire gene constellation of the virus is similar to that of isolates from humans, highlighting the need to monitor influenza A(H7N9) viruses in different species.

Keywords: China; H7N9; influenza; tree sparrow; viruses; wild bird.
