👉 H7N1 is a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus that causes severe illness in birds, particularly poultry. It was first identified in 2003 and has since spread across several countries, including China. The virus primarily affects birds with weakened immune systems, such as chickens and turkeys, and can cause respiratory distress, pneumonia, and potentially death in humans. This virus is highly contagious and poses a significant threat to public health.
