    GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (25/ENE/2013.) - Security measures against bird flu in Jalisco be followed to the letter and should not get off their guard, otherwise there is a risk of backlash as happened at a farm in the municipality Encarnaci?n de D?az Jalisco, where "you had a lax stance on vaccination of birds."
