Abstract

A novel H7N9 virus (A/Changsha/1/2013(H7N9)) identified through influenza network laboratory routine examination was retrospectively analyzed. The gene sequences of A/Changsha/1/2013(H7N9) were highly homologous to other viruses isolated in mainland China. Mutations of Q226L and G186V were found in HA protein. Amino acid deletions were found in 218-230 of NA protein and in 69-73 of NS1 protein. All viral genes except the PB1 were essentially identical to the sequences of other Chinese A H7N9 isolates. Collectively, A/Changsha/1/2013(H7N9) is highly homologous to other H7N9 avian influenza viruses isolated in mainland China.
