There are three species of wild ass. The African wild ass is critically endangered as a result of hunting for food and traditional medicine, and many are crossbreeding with domestic donkeys; there are only a few hundred left in the wild. The kiang, a species of Asiatic wild ass, has a Least Concern conservation status. The onager, another Asiatic species, is endangered as a result of poaching and habitat loss. The Indian ass, a subspecies of onager, is endangered as a result of a major outbreak of Trypanosoma evansi, a disease that effects horses and some other livestock, from 1958 and 1960, as well as habitat degradation from salt related activities, the invasion of Prosopis juliflora, a type of mesquite shrub, and the encroachment of nomadic herdsmen.
