The findings refute some previous research suggesting that H7N9 poses an imminent risk of causing a global pandemic. The H7N9 virus killed several dozen people in China earlier this year. Analyses of virus samples from that outbreak suggest that H7N9 is still mainly adapted for infecting birds, not people, according to scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California The reading is published in the Dec 6, 2013 proclamation of the list Science.
