Tips

usage

Parse the chain: 高 (high) plus 致病性 (pathogenicity) plus 禽 (poultry) plus 流感 (flu). H5N1 and H7N9 are the classic HPAI strains; Chinese health officials distinguish 高致病性 from 低致病性 (LPAI) based on how quickly chickens die in lab tests.

history

The 1997 Hong Kong H5N1 outbreak - handled by then-Hong-Kong Director of Health 陈冯富珍 - was the first HPAI jump to humans and shaped every pandemic response framework since.
