The ECDC has published an updated, 15 page PDF Risk Assessment on China’s H7N9 outbreak, with detailed discussions of the human epidemiology, clinical aspects, spectrum of disease, & treatment and animal infections and environment detection – among other topics.
As the content is too extensive to adequately excerpt, I’ll simply post a link to the entire document, which is well worth downloading and reading at length.

Abstract
This updated risk assessment summarises all available information on the novel avian influenza A(H7N9) and assesses the situation as of 27 January 2014, focusing on new developments since the ECDC rapid risk assessments of 3 April 2013, 12 April 2013 and 8 May 2013.
The document assesses the risk associated with the outbreak of avian influenza in China to public health in the EU/EEA and attempts to anticipate future developments (disease scenarios, availability of vaccination, human-to-human transmission).
