Environmental connections of novel avian-origin H7N9 influenza virus infection and virus adaptation to the human. (Cached)	10.5.2013	NCBI: db=PubMed; Term=avian influenza
Environmental connections of novel avian-origin H7N9 influenza virus infection and virus adaptation to the human. Sci China Life Sci. 2013 May 8; Authors: Li J, Yu X, Pu X, Xie L, Sun Y, Xiao H, Wang F, Din H, Wu Y, Liu D, Zhao G, Liu J, Pan J Abstract A novel H7N9 influenza A virus has been discovered as the causative identity of the emerging acute respiratory infection cases in Shanghai, China. This virus has also been identified in cases of infection in the neighboring area Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province. In this study, epidemiologic, clinical, and virological data from three patients in Hangzhou who were confirmed to be infected by the novel H7N9 influenza A virus were collected and analyzed. Human respiratory specimens and chicken feces from a contacted free market were tested for influenza virus by real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and sequencing. The clinical features of the three cases were similar featured with high fever and severe respiratory symptoms; ...

An overview of the recent outbreaks of the avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus in the human. (Cached)	9.5.2013	NCBI: db=PubMed; Term=avian influenza
An overview of the recent outbreaks of the avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus in the human. J Chin Med Assoc. 2013 May 4; Authors: Tang RB, Chen HL Abstract Since the first human infection with influenza A (H7N9) viruses have been identified in Shanghai on March 31, 2013, the latest variant of the avian flu virus has spread across four Chinese provinces recently. Human infections with avian influenza are rare and this is the first time that human infection with a low pathogenic avian influenza A virus has been associated with fatal outcome. To date (April 18th, 2013), a total of 87 cases, including 17 deaths, have been laboratory confirmed with influenza A (H7N9) virus in China. Most reported cases have severe respiratory illness resulting in severe pneumonia and in some cases have died. No evidence of sustained human-to -humans at this time, however, there is one family cluster with two confirmed cases for which human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out. Recent evidence ...

Genomic signature and protein sequence analysis of a novel influenza A (H7N9) virus that causes an outbreak in humans in China. (Cached)	1.5.2013	NCBI: db=PubMed; Term=avian influenza
Genomic signature and protein sequence analysis of a novel influenza A (H7N9) virus that causes an outbreak in humans in China. Microbes Infect. 2013 Apr 26; Authors: Liu Q, Lu L, Sun Z, Chen GW, Wen Y, Jiang S Abstract Very recently, a new avian flu outbreak in humans, which is caused by a novel H7N9 influenza A virus (AIV), was reported in China. As of April 13, 2013, 49 confirmed cases (mainly middle-aged to elderly males), including 11 deaths, were reported in China. Here we analyzed the genomic signatures and protein sequences of the human H7N9 AIVs. We found that the genomic signatures of A(H7N9) had high and low identity to avian and human IAVs, respectively, suggesting its avian origin. The signature amino acids of A(H7N9) had high identity to 1997 H5N1 and 2009 H1N1, but low identity to those influenza strains that caused pandemics before 1980. One of the key signature amino acids at 627 in PB2 mutated to lysine, which is associated with mammalian adaptation and increased ...
