Abstract: The author focuses on the African horse sickness (AHS) which is an insect-transmitted, non-contagious disease of equids caused by African horse sickness virus (AHSV). It offers estimation on the outbreak in several countries, including Spain, Europe and Portugal and mentions the control and prevention methods. It states that only a polyvalent cell-culture-adapted modified live virus AHSV vaccine is commercially available for treating AHSV.
