African Horse Sickness is a serious arthropod-borne viral disease of equids. African horse sickness (AHS) results from infection with the AHS virus, a member of the genus Orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. There are nine serotypes; serotype 9 is widespread in the endemic region, while serotypes 1 to 8 occur in limited areas. Serotype 9 has been detected in most of the outbreaks occurring outside Africa. There was an outbreak in Spain and Portugal in 1987-1990, caused by serotype 4, imported zebra from Namibia was the source of infection
