Entered into the record:

The SLE [Saint Louis Encephalitis] epidemic aroused the interest of the chief pathologist at the Bronx Zoo.

She had been concerned - since late July - about a crow die-off near the zoo; over Labor Day weekend, several exhibit birds including flamingoes and a bald eagle had also died.

How could WNV originate at the zoo if the outside birds died months earlier?
