African Horse Sickness Virus Serotype 1 on Horse Farm, Thailand, 2020

Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Aug;27(8):2208-2211. doi: 10.3201/eid2708.210004.ABSTRACTTo investigate an outbreak of African horse sickness (AHS) on a horse farm in northeastern Thailand, we used whole-genome sequencing to detect and characterize the virus. The viruses belonged to serotype 1 and contained unique amino acids (95V,166S, 660I in virus capsid protein 2), suggesting a single virus introduction to Thailand.PMID:34287126 | DOI:10.3201/eid2708.210004
