Biochemical Analysis of the Blood of Cattle after Vaccination with a Heterologous Vaccine for Lumpy Skin Disease.

We studied the biochemical parameters of the blood of cattle after immunization against lumpy skin disease with a vaccine made from an attenuated heterologous goat pox virus (strain G-LKV). Blood samples were obtained from animals on days 7, 14, and 21 after vaccination. The vaccine did not affect biochemical parameters of the blood.

[Determination of the optimal immunizing dose of heterologous goat pox virus vaccine (Poxviridae: Chordopoxvirinae: Capripoxvirus) against lumpy skin disease].

Introduction: Lumpy skin disease (LSD), sheep pox and goat pox are dangerous diseases of domestic ruminants. Representatives of the genus of capripoxviruses are antigenically similar and can be used as a vaccine for three infections, as in the case of representatives of the genus of orthopoxviruses, which includes viruses of smallpox, monkeypox, and cowpox, that all belong to a single family Poxviridae.

Materials And Methods: In this study, the vaccine strain G20-LKV of the goat pox virus and the virulent strain RIBSP2019/K of the LSD virus were used.
