Education has a great importance and impact in limiting the spread of the disease, as it was found from the study that the rate of infection and death was low the higher the levels of education, and in Assiut Governorate, the disease caused direct losses, including the death of animals, which reached its maximum extent (for cows and buffaloes) and ( sheep and goats) in the years 2018 and 2019, by about 22 and 24 heads, respectively, and there is a statistically significant increase in the value of the volume of losses, which was estimated at 15,328 thousand pounds annually,
