“…Infections of AHSV continue to occur regularly in southern African countries, but the virus has also been occasionally detected in North Africa, the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula, and Asia [ 21 ]. The most recent outbreak outside of Africa occurred in Thailand in 2020, a country previously recognized as AHSV free [ 22 ]. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus primarily infects wild ruminants (in particular white-tailed deer) but has been isolated also from domestic ruminants.…”

Over the last decades, an increase in the emergence or re-emergence of arthropod-borne viruses has been observed in many regions. Viruses such as dengue, yellow fever, or zika are a threat for millions of people on different continents. On the other hand, some arboviruses are still described as endemic, however, they could become more important in the near future. Additionally, there is a group of arboviruses that, although important for animal breeding, are not a direct threat for human health. Those include, e.g., Schmallenberg, bluetongue, or African swine fever viruses. This review focuses on arboviruses and their major vectors: mosquitoes, ticks, biting midges, and sandflies. We discuss the current knowledge on arbovirus transmission, ecology, and methods of prevention. As arboviruses are a challenge to both human and animal health, successful prevention and control are therefore only possible through a One Health perspective.

“…The disease is enzootic in sub-Saharan Africa, and possibly in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula as well [17]. There have been epizootics of disease in India, Pakistan, Spain, Portugal, and most recently in Thailand [17,[22][23][24][25][26][27]. Global warming and the resulting spread of Culicoides imicola outside of Africa, has the potential to further spread the enzootic range of this disease [17,[27][28][29].…”

Animals provide food and other critical resources to most of the global population. As such, diseases of animals can cause dire consequences, especially disease with high rates of morbidity or mortality. Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are highly contagious or transmissible, epidemic diseases, with the potential to spread rapidly across the globe and the potential to cause substantial socioeconomic and public health consequences. Transboundary animal diseases can threaten the global food supply, reduce the availability of non-food animal products, or cause the loss of human productivity or life. Further, TADs result in socioeconomic consequences from costs of control or preventative measures, and from trade restrictions. A greater understanding of the transmission, spread, and pathogenesis of these diseases is required. Further work is also needed to improve the efficacy and cost of both diagnostics and vaccines. This review aims to give a broad overview of 17 TADs, providing researchers and veterinarians with a current, succinct resource of salient details regarding these significant diseases. For each disease, we provide a synopsis of the disease and its status, species and geographic areas affected, a summary of in vitro or in vivo research models, and when available, information regarding prevention or treatment.

“…In 2007, outbreaks of AHS in West Africa were caused by serotype 2 (Nigeria and Senegal) and serotype 7 (Senegal) (Diouf et al., 2013). Outbreaks of AHS have recently been reported in Ethiopia (Aklilu et al., 2014), Thailand (Lu et al., 2020) and Malaysia (Castillo‐Olivares, 2021).…”

African horse sickness (AHS) is a vector-borne disease transmitted by Culicoides spp., endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. There have been many examples of historic and recent outbreaks in the Middle East, Asia and Europe. However, not much is known about infection dynamics and outbreak potential in these naive populations. In order to better inform a previously published ordinary differential equation model, we performed a systematic literature search to identify studies documenting experimental infection of naive (control) equids in vaccination trials. Data on the time until the onset of viraemia, clinical signs and death after experimental infection of a naive equid and duration of viraemia were extracted. The time to viraemia was 4.6 days and the time to clinical signs was 4.9 days, longer than the previously estimated latent period of 3.7 days. The infectious periods of animals that died/were euthanized or survived were found to be 3.9 and 8.7 days, whereas previous estimations were 4.4 and 6 days, respectively. The case fatality was also found to be higher than previous estimations. The updated parameter values (along with other more recently published estimates from literature) resulted in an increase in the number of host deaths, decrease in the duration of the outbreak and greater prevalence in vectors.
