Abstract
The low pathogenic avian influenza A(H7N9) viruses (LPAI) were first identified in 2013 and have continued to infect humans since then. It was reported in February 2017 that the LPAI H7N9 virus has evolved into highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, potentially increasing the risk for human and poultry. We in this study overviewed the emergence, epidemiology, and biological characterizations of the HPAI H7N9 viruses for the risk assessment.
