H7N9

Participants dosed with the vaccine will be tested for their response to ‘pre-pandemic avian influenza strain H7N9.’

This is the second case of bird flu detected in the ACT and 12th in Australia.

The farm was already in lockdown.

This is on top of 240,000 birds that will be impacted after the first case of H7N8 was discovered in NSW.

The new H7N9 strain of bird flu has re-emerged in China, after laying dormant for several months. Amid a current outbreak, experts are concerned about mutations in the virus and are concerned it could spread between humans.

In 2013 there were a total of 144 case of H7N9 avian influenza around China. But this January alone there have been 101 recorded cases, 10 of which resulted in death, according to incomplete disease reports compiled by Chinese authorities.

Chinese scientists believe new cases of H7N9 bird flu in East China may indicate the risk of a fresh outbreak of the virus during winter.

Another bird flu virus, which appears to have been developing alongside the H7N9 strain, has been found in chickens in China.

The H7N9 bird flu virus in China has developed Tamiflu resistance in some people, while a new case of the illness has been confirmed in Beijing.

New research shows that the H7N9 bird flu virus spreads between ferrets in close contact with each other, suggesting human-to-human transmission is possible.

Chinese researchers hybridized the H5N1 bird flu virus with the highly virulent H1N1 swine flu strain, creating mutants that can spread between mammals.

The son of a bird flu patient in the eastern province of Shandong has also been diagnosed with the virus.

Foot-and-mouth disease is the latest problem to affect animals in China, raising consumer fears about the safety of animal products.

The first case of H7N9 bird flu outside of mainland China has been reported in Taiwan.

Members of two families in Shanghai have been infected with H7N9, raising fears that the virus can spread from humans to others humans.

In an exclusive interview, a senior Chinese vet said authorities have been concealing an outbreak of the new H7N9 virus in poultry since last year.

Two medical experts share their advice on how to avoid catching bird flu using aromatic herbs.

As authorities report the arrival of H7N9 bird flu in central China, two new studies show that the virus can change quickly, and may be more infectious than previous strains.
