Abstract

Objective To Understand the pathogens of the first case of human H7N9 infections. Methods The respiratory specimens were collected from a case with pneumonia of unkno-wn cause reported in Wuhu city, Viral RNA was extracted from the specimens and detected on specif-ic genes by real-time RT-PCR, The specimens were submitted to CNIC for gene sequencing. Results FluA virus and specific H7N9 subtype from the resp,ratory tract estract were positive, The nucleotide acid sequences of HA and NA gene were highly similar with ot-her known avian isolate strain sequences(HA: 99.4%~99.8%;NA: 99.2%~100.0%), The highest similarit-y of nucleotide sequence of HAgene was KM054796-A/chicken/Jilin/2014,The highest similarity of NA gene was KP414837-A/chicken/Jiangxi/2014. there was the closest evolutionary relationships with KP414837-A/chicken/Jiangxi/2014. Conclusion The viral HA and NA sequences of the first case of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza in wuhu city were highly homologous to the known H7N9 avian influenza virus.
