Abstract
Influenza virus remains one of the most important disease-causing viruses owing to its high adaptability and even higher contagious nature. Thus, it poses a constant threat of pandemic, engulfing a large population within the smallest possible time interval. A similar threat was anticipated with the identification of the novel H7N9 virus in China on 30 March 2013. Detection of transmission of the virus between humans has caused a stir with the identification of family clusters along with sporadic infections all across China. In this review we analyze the potential of the novel H7N9 virus as a probable cause of a pandemic and the possible consequences thereof.
