Article Synopsis
- A serological survey was conducted in Jimma zone from November 2009 to February 2010 to measure the prevalence of African horse sickness virus among equids (horses, mules, and donkeys) that hadn't been vaccinated for at least two years.
- The study found an overall seroprevalence of 32.5%, with donkeys showing the highest rate at 51.1%, followed by mules at 30.2%, and horses at 28.3%, indicating significant differences among species and agro-ecological areas.
- The research suggests that AHS is more prevalent in highland regions and stresses the need for targeted control strategies focusing on high-risk equid species regardless of age or sex for effective
