“…Interestingly, no clinical signs were observed which magnifies their epidemiological role. The disease is highly endemic in South American countries have one of the largest equine populations (48). EIAV tends to reoccur after a long gap of time as in India1999 then 2012 (32).…”

Although different equine viruses' outbreaks have been recorded. However, the most important ones in are the African horse sickness virus (AHSV), equine influenza virus (EIV), equine viral arteritis (EVA), Equine infectious anaemia virus (EIAV), and equine herpes viruses (EHV). To combat these diseases, it is imperative to understand their epidemiological aspects. So, the current review aims to highlight some epidemiological aspects including; causative agents, clinical forms, history, prevalence and geographical distribution, source of infection, and methods of transmission. The AHSV mainly causes pulmonary, and cardiac forms with high morbidity and mortality rates in Africa. The EIV is found all over the world and results in respiratory signs. The EVA has low morbidity and mortality rates and is mainly found in the Americas and Europe, its significance is due to the reproductive problems as abortion in mares and subfertility in stallions. The EIAV has low morbidity and mortality rates and causes long time course disease mainly of fever, and chronic anaemia or death. The EHVs are the current most important pathogens due to their endemicity all over the world and their high morbidity. It causes respiratory, abortion, neonatal, and sometimes neurological manifestations. Aerosols and body excretions are the main sources of infection with EIV, EVA, and EHV. Venereal EVA transmission occurs through natural breeding or artificial insemination with the semen of infected or carrier stallions. The spreading of arboviruses is greatly affected by the vector activity like the AHSV which transmitted by the Culicoide imicola biting midges, and the EIAV by family Tabanidae. In general, it is recommended to take all epidemiological measures, including vaccinations and vector control, to limit the spread of such diseases and reduce economic losses.

“…Arthropods such as mosquitoes, flies, mites, fleas, lice and ticks can act as vectors of viruses and other pathogens via active biological transmission but also through passive mechanical transmission [9,[13][14][15][16] (Table 1, Ref. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]). Biological transmission occurs when vectors transmit pathogens that multiply within their bodies [31,32].…”
