H7N9 is a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus that causes severe, sometimes fatal, illness in birds and chickens. It was first identified in chickens in Wuhan, China, in 2013. The virus spreads through direct contact with infected poultry or human hosts, causing pneumonia-like symptoms in humans. This strain of the H7N9 virus is highly contagious and can spread quickly among populations.
