Message definition (Effects of climate change on livestock)
[[African horse sickness]] (AHS) is a viral illness with a mortality close to 90% in horses, and 50% in [[mule]]s. A midge, [[Culicoides imicola]], is the primary vector of AHS, and its spread is expected to benefit from climate change. The spillover of [[Hendra virus]] from its [[flying fox]] hosts to horses is also likely to increase, as future warming would expand the hosts' geographic range. It has been estimated that under the "moderate" and high [[climate change scenario]]s, [[Representative Concentration Pathway|RCP4.5]] and RCP8.5, the number of threatened horses would increase by 110,000 and 165,000, respectively, or by 175 and 260%.
