The Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division, in collaboration with the Nevada State Health Division, is conducting surveillance to monitor for St. Louis Encephalitis. There are three categories of surveillance currently underway: Dead bird testing (crows, ravens and magpies) Mosquito testing Sentinel chicken flock testing To report a dead raven, crow or magpie, contact the Southern Nevada Health District West Nile Hotline at (702) 759-1220. Please note: viable samples can only be collected from birds that have been dead less than 24 hours. Where can I get more information? Contact your physician or the Clark County Office of Epidemiology at (702) 759-1300. You may also visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/arbor/sle_ga.
