This transmission electron micrograph captured some details of the new H7N9 influenza virus, a bird flu virus subtype that had not been found in people until April 1, 2013, when the World Health Organization reported three human infections with H7N9 in China. Other cases since have been reported, most with severe respiratory illness. Some cases have been fatal. The first case outside China was in Malaysia, reported Feb. 12, 2014, and detected in a traveler from an H7N9-affected area of China. The new H7N9 virus has not been detected in people or birds in the United States. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention photo by Cynthia S. Goldsmith and Thomas Rowe
