Serum samples collected prior to the first vaccination and at one-month post-booster were evaluated for seroconversion using a virus-neutralization assay. For vaccination, blood collection and post-vaccination injection site examination the animals were caught and physically restrained.

In adults, the post-vaccination VN antibody titer means for the three BTV serotypes were two to four times higher than the pre-vaccination titer means, whereas in the juveniles, post-vaccination VN antibody titer means were less than or equal to two times higher than the pre-vaccination titer means. Fifteen months after the administration of the second dose of the vaccine, one of the two adult male unvaccinated control antelope housed along with the vaccinated antelope developed clinical signs of BTV infection and died of the disease.
