About Disease


African horse sickness (AHS) is a highly infectious and deadly disease caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV). AHSV is a virus of the genus Orbivirus belonging to the family Reoviridae. It commonly affects horses, mules, and donkeys. This disease can be caused by any of the nine serotypes of this virus.

AHS is not directly contagious, but is known to be spread by insect vectors. AHS is known to be endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, and has spread to Morocco, the Middle East, India, and Pakistan. More recently, outbreaks have been reported in the Iberian Peninsula and Thailand. Horses are the most susceptible host with close to 90%mortality of those affected, followed by mules (50%) and donkeys (10%). African donkeys and zebras very rarely display clinical symptoms, despite high virus titers in blood, and are thought to be the natural reservoir of the virus.
