Re: The Outbreak of Avian Influenza A (H7N9) in China: Current Status and Future Prospects

from the full text of the article (link)

Genomic signature analysis has confirmed the avian origin of A (H7N9), revealing 43 avian signatures to only 4 human signatures. <sup></sup> Phylogenetic analysis further indicates that its HA gene might have originated from H7N3 in ducks in Zhejiang Province, whereas its NA gene might have originated from migratory birds along the East Asian flyway. Its six internal genes may originate from H9N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) isolated from chickens and birds, such as bramblings in Beijing. Therefore, ducks and chickens in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region could have served as the intermediate hosts for this virulent A (H7N9) virus.
