The 2016-17 epidemic of human infections with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus was alarming, due to the surge in reported cases across a wide geographic area and the emergence of highly-pathogenic A(H7N9) viruses. Our study aimed to assess whether the human-to-human transmission risk of A(H7N9) virus has changed across the 5 waves since 2013.
