SECRETARY OF HEALTH, CHERTORISKI SOLOMON: Good afternoon everyone, I greet with respect to fellow media, I thank the Secretary Ferrari's invitation to be together, to comprehensively platicarles all sides of this issue we have As always busy.

I would start by saying that the Ministry of Health we have one of the expert groups for influence in the world, recognized worldwide as reiterated today headed by Dr. Pablo Kuri, three messages that I would very timely.
The first influence is a disease that affects several animal species including as we all know and have experienced the human being, yet each of these viruses is limited to the transmission within the same species. In this particular case the H7N3 virus is only transmitted between birds, I want it very clear that no virus among lizards, whales, horses and of course reiterated among humans, but the virus that we are living today in the country today, focusing on the state of Jalisco has no chance of being transmitted to humans. I say this with all punctuality, with precision throughout history has never been a case of transmission of this virus to humans and I think it is very important as we have been doing throughout the week to reiterate this message there is no risk of infection in humans. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sagarpa.gob.mx%2Fsaladeprensa%2Fboletines2%2FPaginas%2Fdefault.aspx
