Epidemiological Study of African Horse Sickness in Sudan

A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2016 to October 2017 to determine the seroprevalence and to investigate the risk factors for African horse sickness (AHS) in Sudan. A total of 920equines (590 horses and 330 donkeys) were randomly selected and sampled. Competitive Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (c-ELISA) was employed to detect antibodies to AHS virus. The overall seroprevalence was 72.2 %, while it was 80% in horses and 58.2% in donkeys. The univariate analysis of associations of potential risk factors with seroprevalence of AHS showed statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) results with state (χ2 = 47.434, p
