Background: The study was conducted on 5 farms belong to the General organisation of Cattle<br />

(GOC) in Syria <strong>for</strong> epidemiological & Sero investigation of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) .<br />

Methods: Data was collected from individual farm included animal characteristics and farm<br />

specifications.<br />

Random blood samples were colleced from individual animal from the farms study.<br />

ELISA test was used to test all samples to detect positive antibodies LPEC model Program was<br />

used to estimate the economic losses of the disease<br />

Results: The sero prevalence of the disease was ranged between 10-20 percent in the study<br />

farms. It was carried out an quantitative epidemiological and economic study to evaluation the<br />

epidemiology of the disease and econmic losses caused by the disease . It was confirmed that<br />

there were strength significant association between the occurrence of the disease and advance<br />

ages of animals and increased the size of herd in individual farms. The economic losses resulted<br />

of the occurrence of the disease were estimated as indiviudual level <strong>for</strong> a cow and gemerally on<br />

the farm level.The sero prevalence of the disease was ranged between 10-20 percent in the<br />

study farms. It was carried out an quantitative epidemiological and economic study to evaluation<br />

the epidemiology of the disease and econmic losses caused by the disease . It was confirmed<br />

that there were strength significant association between the occurrence of the disease and<br />

advance ages of animals and increased the size of herd in individual farms. The economic losses<br />

resulted of the occurrence of the disease were estimated as indiviudual level <strong>for</strong> a cow and<br />

gemerally on the farm level.<br />

Conclusion: The study was conculded that there was an increase in the seroprevalence in<br />

dvance ages in all regions study, this was because there was no vaccination program in all<br />

regions study. Biosecurity procedures should be taken in consideration in order to decrease the<br />

disease occurrence. The economic losses resulted from the disease reached to 4000 US$ at the<br />

farm level and about 100,000 US$ at the GOC level.<br />

Control startegies should be carried out in order to prevent the high prevelance level of the diseae
