Vaccines signify one of the economical and reasonable means to prevent and eradicate the important infectious diseases. Conventional vaccines like live attenuated and inactivated vaccines comprise of whole pathogen either in attenuated or killed form. While, new generation vaccines have been designed to elicit immune response by genetically modifying only the nucleic acid portion of that pathogen.

- Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a virus affecting cattle, emerging rapidly in Asia and causing high rates of illness and death among livestock.
- Prior to 2019, India had no locally developed tools to manage LSD due to its absence, leading to the need for a cost-effective diagnostic solution.
- The study successfully created an indigenous indirect ELISA test that showed high accuracy (96.6% sensitivity and 95.1% specificity) for detecting antibodies against LSDV in cattle across different regions of India.
Over the last decade, single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has caught the momentum of being a vital revolutionary tool to unfold cellular heterogeneity by high resolution assessment. It evades the inadequacies of conventional sequencing technology which was able to detect only average expression level among cell populations. In the era of twenty-first century, several epidemic and pandemic viruses have emerged.

It is caused by Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) belonging to the genus Capripoxvirus and family Poxviridae. The origin of lumpy skin disease has been traced to Zambia, (an African nation) in Southern part during the year 1929.
