    Its strange there are not more reports of this in water foul and it didn't seem to take that route in related infections by reports released so far. Perhaps this one prefers a different level of hydration/Ph in transmittal.

    If the animals are not showing symptoms I think you can assume the viral load in secretions is lower than more lethal (to birds) avian viruses. Quail certainly have a communal behavior that a more dry loving pathogen could exploit - same with pigeons I think.

    Domesticated chickens as well.

      new bird sequences put into gisaid
      I hope at least some sequences will also be released soon to public

      A/Pigeon/Shanghai/S1069/2013,H7N9
      A/Environment/Shanghai/S1088/2013,H7N9
      A/Chicken/Shanghai/S1053/2013,H7N9

      all 8 segments , all have 226L(4,H3 numbering) and 627E(1)

      I'm not allowed to say where I know this from
      I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates
