The common hosts of this disease are horses, mules, donkeys and zebra. However, elephants, camels and dogs (after eating infected horsemeat) can be infected as well, but often show no signs of the disease.

Famous quotes containing the word host:
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host...But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, Friend, move up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:8,10.
“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A host is like a general: calamities often reveal his genius.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
