-AHS is a non-contagious arthropod-borne disease of equidae. The causal agent is an [[African Horse Sickness|orbivirus]] existing in nine serotypes. The occurrence of AHS is both cyclical and seasonal and dependent on the vector, usually [[Biting Flies#Ceratopogonidae|''Culicoides'']]. Equine encephalosis, caused by a related orbivirus, follows a similar distribution and epidemiology to African Horse Sickness and can present with similar signs.

Equine encephalosis, caused by a related orbivirus, follows a similar distribution and epidemiology to African Horse Sickness and can present with similar signs.
 AHS is endemic in the sub-Saharan region and certain parts of South Africa, where severe epidemics occur in naïve horse  populations (Lord ''et al.'', 2002; Coetzer & Guthrie, 2004). AHS occasionally occurs as outbreaks in North Africa, intermittently spreading to the Mediterranean area and the Middle East.
