Executive Summary

As drug companies and government scientists rush to develop a new vaccine against the novel H7N9 influenza virus – in the event the shot is eventually needed – researchers have discovered a new related flu virus in chickens in China, known as H7N7, which has demonstrated the ability in experiments to infect mammals, suggesting H7 viruses may pose threats to humans beyond the current outbreak.
