The origin of internal genes contributes to the replication and transmission fitness of H7N9 avian influenza virus

J. James, S. Bhat, S. K. Walsh, H. M. T. K. Karunarathna, J.-R. Sadeyen, P. Chang, J. E. Sealy, S. Mahmood, B. Mollett, M. J. Slomka, S. M. Brookes, M. Iqbal

This study shows that internal gene segments from different H9N2 lineages affect the replication and transmission fitness of H7N9 avian influenza viruses in chickens and their zoonotic potential.
