The total protection percentage in animals was good(77.24%) and indicated the big effort dine by General Organization of Vveterniary Services.
The infectivity (9.73%)indicates the presence of circulating RVF virus, while the susceptibility was (13.11%)indicates that some animals escaped RVF vaccination or the presence of some immune response-suppressive diseases.
