Following the outbreak of FMD in the feedlot of • (1) close to the Lebanese a survey was conducted in healthy cattle livestock operations along this border. The work hypothesis was that FMD virus circulate in the border areas and attack cattle possessing only partial level of immunity. Those animals which got only one vaccination, 4 – 6 month before.

At the farms, blood samples were collected one month after • the outbreak, from 10 – 20 animals in the age of 8 - 12 month.
