African horse sickness (AHS) plagued the Middle East in 1944 for the first time. It spread into Palestine during a transformative period, as the role of animals as global migrant-laborers was shifting; soon after, automated machines would relieve their burden and transform the relations between farmers, traders, the state and its policing powers, and the global market. By following the movement and management of this outbreak of the disease, along with medical knowledge and tools of prevention and treatment, the article demonstrates that animal health and mobility were substantial matters of concern in British Palestine. It shows, furthermore, that AHS became a catalyst in dismantling the economic, social, and cultural value of animals of burden and their handlers.
