Comprehensive seroprevalence analysis reveals significant vector-borne disease rates in cattle, indicating targeted interventions are needed.

Seroprevalence estimates show 51.2% for EHD and 81% for BT in cattle samples collected.
Herd-level seroprevalence reached 100% for BT and 93% for EHD, highlighting disease presence.
Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression identified age as a factor influencing both EHD and BT seroprevalence.
Findings underline the need for additional studies on vectors and their prevalence in the region.

Slimen et al. (2025) studied this question.
