Die Afrikanische Pferdepest ist in tropischen und subtropischen Regionen Afrikas südlich der Sahara endemisch und dort von immenser Bedeutung, wird aber allzu oft von der westlichen Welt als weit entfernt und wenig relevant abgetan. Ziel dieser Review ist es, einen Überblick über diese Erkrankung zu vermitteln und das Risiko eines Ausbruchs in Europa zu thematisieren.
