PHOENIX (AP) -- Contractors fogged the Phoenix Zoo after preliminary tests showed mosquitoes there have tested positive for the West Nile virus.
Maricopa County and zoo officials decline comment, pending the results of a secondary tests.
The City of Phoenix' emergency management coordinator says up to 15 percent of initial positive tests prove false.
Results from the secondary tests from mosquitoes trapped at the zoo are expected by tomorrow.
Phoenix officials stressed that the mosquitoes that carry the virus are nocturnal and are unlikely to bother daytime visitors.

My fellow Zonies: Please just be extra cautious when it comes to mosquitoes. I am paranoid, I know at least me and DD will be covered in OFF for a few days.
