Credit Rosamond Gifford Zoo The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is mourning the sudden death of its youngest elephant calf to a lethal strain of herpes that targets Asian elephants.  The calf named Ajay (ah-JYE) would have turned two in January.  Staff were treating his older brother Batu after a blood sample tested positive for Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpes Virus, or EEHV, but he had no symptoms.  At the same time they monitored Ajay, who didn’t show any symptoms until within a few hours of his death.  The virus is believed to be naturally occurring in a latent form that can become active without warning.  It s the biggest killer of young Asian elephants, and can cause death in under 24 hours.  Zoo Director Ted Fox says in a release that Monday night, Ajay was playful and happy as usual.  But by Tuesday morning, there was swelling around his eyes and seemed tired.
