Mexico. - [b]Mexico has identified 1.7 million birds infected with the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu[/b] now affecting 10 farms in the state of Jalisco, which have been isolated, said Friday the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, fisheries and Food (SAGARPA).

"[b]The medical device applied in farms and backyards includes a flock of 6 million 120 thousand 500 birds, which was detected 1 million 700 thousand affected," the agency said in a statement, adding that the animals had 870 000 died from the disease or were slaughtered.[/b]

The ministry announced that it had activated a national emergency device in the region of Jalisco called Los Altos, where the farms affected by the virus, subtype H7N3.

H7N3 is said to not infect human, but records show mild symptoms in at least 2 vets during a previous outbreak. Mexican papers are saying no one is sick and can't get sick and to eat all the chicken and eggs you can. They are lying to prevent panic and to protect the poultry industry. This outbreak is in the largest egg producing area in the country and also for poultry itself, with over 80 million birds. This is a pretty large outbreak and will most likely spread. I hope they can handle it better than they handle the drug dealers and gangs.
