Abstract
An outbreak of influenza A(H7N2) virus in cats in a shelter in New York, NY, USA, resulted in zoonotic transmission. Virus isolated from the infected human was closely related to virus isolated from a cat; both were related to low pathogenicity avian influenza A(H7N2) viruses detected in the United States during the early 2000s.
Keywords:
A(H7N2); Avian influenza; H7N2; New York; United States; animal shelter; cat-to-human transmission; human infection with H7N2; influenza; interspecies transmission; respiratory infections; viruses.
