Emerg Infect Dis. 2014 Nov;20(11):1902-5. doi: 10.3201/eid2011.140608.

Abstract

We report on a case of human infection with influenza A(H7N9) virus in Jilin Province in northeastern China. This case was associated with a poultry farm rather than a live bird market, which may point to a new focus for public health surveillance and interventions in this evolving outbreak.
