    At present, the Chinese around actively carry out technical research. Jiangsu Province Center for Disease Control has been successfully developed for rapid detection of grassroots H7N9 virus technology - isothermal amplification technology, forward of the H7N9 avian influenza virus detection barrier to early detection, early control the epidemic.
      
    "H7N9 bird flu coming or not a doubt, the key is to look at how early detection and timely response."
