The ultimate goal of a vaccine is to protect vaccinated animals against re-exposure to the same pathogen and provide sterile immunity. However, a cutaneous clinical manifestation appeared, following re-exposure of cattle that had been vaccinated with the RM65 strain, to LSDV infection during an epidemic in 2006-2007. Four thousand six hundred and seven vaccinated cows entered the study after being re-exposed to LSDV infection. Of them, 513 (11%) presented lumps, and there was a marked difference between the proportions of dairy and feedlot animals that were affected: 146 out of 3517 and 367 out of 1090 (6.6 and 33.7%, respectively). This data suggests that the potency of the vaccine need to be re-assessed for beef cattle.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) infection poses a significant threat to global cattle farming. Currently, effective therapeutic agents are lacking. TMP269, a small molecule inhibitor of class IIa histone deacetylase inhibitor, plays a vital role in cancer therapy.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an emerging, highly contagious transboundary disease of bovines caused by the Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), responsible for substantial economic losses to the dairy, meat, and leather industries in Pakistan as well as various countries around the world. Epidemiological information on LSD is scarce in Punjab, Pakistan. Therefore, a molecular epidemiological study was conducted in two agro-ecologically diverse districts (Bhakkar and Jhang) of Punjab, Pakistan.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD), caused by the LSD virus (LSDV) from the Capripoxvirus genus, affects cattle, water buffalo, and wild bovines, leading to significant economic losses. Characterised by fever, skin nodules, and mucosal lesions, LSD raises global concerns due to vector-borne transmission. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) classifies LSD as a notifiable disease, emphasising the need for rapid diagnostic methods for timely disease confirmation and control.

Lumpy skin disease virus ( family- genus) is the aetiological agent of LSD, a disease primarily transmitted by hematophagous biting, affecting principally cattle. Currently, only live attenuated vaccines are commercially available, but their use is limited to endemic areas. There is a need for safer vaccines, especially in LSD-free countries.

Background: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a transboundary virus disease that mostly affects cattle. It has recently been reported all over the world, which highlights the need for efficient control methods. LSD poses serious economic dangers worldwide.
