The prevalence was significantly higher (83.3%) among the animals below the age of one year than in animals over sac year (16.6%) . Sex had no bearing on the prevalence of the disease. The winter season was mostly associated with the occurrence of the disease (16.38%) followed by spring (6.38%) autumn (5.78%) and summer (0.36%).
