What is African Horse Sickness about?
African Horse Sickness (AHS) is a viral disease affecting equids, transmitted by Culicoides insects, with a high mortality rate in horses. The disease can manifest in various clinical forms, including pulmonary and cardiac symptoms, and is characterized by fever, edema, and respiratory distress. AHS is not contagious but is reportable to the OIE, and diagnosis is challenging in early stages, particularly during insect vector seasons.
