Evidence of Intragenic Recombination in African Horse Sickness Virus [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Intragenic recombination has been described in various RNA viruses as a mechanism to increase genetic diversity, resulting in increased virulence, expanded host range, or adaptability to a changing environment.

African Horse Sickness Virus Serotype 1 on Horse Farm, Thailand, 2020 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
To investigate an outbreak of African horse sickness (AHS) on a horse farm in northeastern Thailand, we used whole-genome sequencing to detect and characterize the virus. The viruses belonged to serotype 1 and contained unique amino acids (95V,166S, 660I

Pathological features of African horse sickness virus infection in IFNAR−/− mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
African Horse Sickness (AHS) is a vector-borne viral disease of equids. The disease can be highly lethal with mortality rates of up to 90% in non-immune equine populations.

Characterising Non-Structural Protein NS4 of African Horse Sickness Virus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
African horse sickness is a serious equid disease caused by the orbivirus African horse sickness virus (AHSV). The virus has ten double-stranded RNA genome segments encoding seven structural and three non-structural proteins.

Safety and immunogenicity of plant-produced African horse sickness virus-like particles in horses [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2018
African horse sickness (AHS) is caused by multiple serotypes of the dsRNA AHSV and is a major scourge of domestic equids in Africa. While there are well established commercial live attenuated vaccines produced in South Africa, risks associated with these

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the
