Overview Situation: Influenza A(H7N9) virus with pandemic potential.
Country: China, human cases originating from China detected in Malaysia and Canada.
Number of human cases: 678 confirmed; 271 deaths (since February 2013)
Provinces/municipalities: Beijing and Shanghai; Anhui; Fujian; Guangdong; Hebei; Henan; Hunan; Jiangsu; Jiangxi; Shandong; Zhejiang; Guangxi; Guizhou; Jilin; Qinghai; Hubei; Taiwan Province of China; Hong Kong SAR; Macao SAR, Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regions; Sabah (Malaysia); British Columbia (Canada).
Animal/environmental findings: over 2,000 virological samples from the environment, chickens, pigeons, ducks and a tree sparrow tested positive; positives mainly from live bird markets, vendors and some commercial or breeding farms.
FAO actions: liaise with China and partners, monitor situation, explore and assess virus characteristics, conduct market chain analysis, risk assessment, surveillance guidance and communication.
