I find it so hard to believe with all the smuggling of poultry across the border in Vietnam, from China, that there has been NO human infections with H7N9. Below is an excerpt from the CDC Health Alert Network update I made in the previous post.
End Notes:
1 As of June 3, 2013, China was the only country where H7N9
viruses were known to be circulating in animals or where human cases
have become infected. Patients with direct or close contact with wild
birds or poultry, or animal settings, such as live poultry markets
while traveling in these areas should be strongly considered for H7N9
testing. For more information on countries affected, please see the CDC
avian influenza A (H7N9) information page at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/h7n9-virus.htm.
