So are they saying their case is low path H7N9, or might that be the "old" (prior to human infections with reassorted H7N9) H7N9? Sequences of those tests would be helpful.

AD I have seen nothing on HP anywhere else I think this may be either an error in translation or a reporter so used to writing about H5N1 that HPAI slipped out. If anyone has seen anything on an HP version of H7N9(2013) please correct me and post.

Hopefully that is exactly what happened.
