human infection with a novel avian influenza A(H7N9) virus emerged in eastern China. This Influenza A virus was a pathogen with more significant pathogenicity to human and able to spread more unpredictable rapid compared with avian influenza A H5N1 and had attracted global attention. Here we reviewed the current knowledge of the virus about its etiology
molecular pathogenic mechanism
epidemiology
clinical features
as well as prevention and cure measures. Overall reports made us learn more research works about the virus in time and might provide us some scientific evidences on the experimental and public health research projects on the H7N9 virus-human interface.
