An outbreak of African horsesickness in dogs.
Several dogs died from African horsesickness which was contracted by the consumption of uncooked meat from the carcase of a horse that had died from the disease. Respiratory embarrassment was the main clinical sign, while marked hydrothorax and pulmonary congestion and oedema were the major post mortem findings. Serotype 6 horsesickness virus was isolated from 2 of these dogs.
