Death toll at 35 while total number of infections rises to 130, state media said today. Without giving details of the deaths, Xinhua news agency said a new case of the H7N9, described by the World Health Organisation as one of the most lethal flu viruses around, was found in China's east Jiangxi province.
Chinese scientists say the virus has been transmitted to humans from chickens, though the World Health Organisation says 40 percent of people infected with H7N9 had no contact with poultry.
