AI Article Synopsis
- * The study identified primary cattle testicular (PCT) cells as the most effective for isolating LSDV, showing higher virus titers at 72 hours compared to other cell lines, and revealed the isolated virus is genetically related to Asian strains but differs from one found in Russia.
- * Phylogenetic and recombination analyses indicate that the LSDV strain from China (LSDV/MZGD/2020) likely resulted from multiple recombination events involving other strains, enhancing our understanding of LSD
Article Abstract
In August 2019, lumpy skin disease occurred for the first time in Xinjiang, China, and then quickly spread to many provinces in China. Here, the virus was isolated from the skin scabs of affected cattle during June 2020 in Guangdong, China. Virus isolation, transmission electron microscopy and polymerase chain reaction identified lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) in the skin crusts of sick cattle. For the isolation of LSDV, the most sensitive cell line is primary cattle testicular (PCT) cells, while Vero cells cannot be used for the isolation of LSDV. In addition, we evaluated the growth characteristics of LSDV in vitro. Compared with MDBK and Vero cells, LSDV produced higher virus titters in PCT cells at 72 h. Phylogenetic analysis based on second-generation sequencing of the LSDV whole genome showed that the isolated virus (LSDV/MZGD/2020) is closely related to Asian strains and formed a new branch. LSDV/MZGD/2020 is also a vaccine recombinant strain that is distinct from the recombinant strain found in Russia. Through Recombination Detection Program (RDP), Simplot and phylogenetic analyses, strong evidence for recombination events was found in Chinese field LSDV strains. The China LSDV/MZGD/2020 strain may be the result of multiple recombination events between the Neethling 2490 and Neethling vaccine LW 1959 strains. This study expands our knowledge of the genetic diversity and evolution of LSDV.

The recent outbreak of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) in the wetland areas of Bangladesh presents a significant concern for both animal health and regional biosecurity. Epidemiological investigations into nine major outbreaks in the wetland areas revealed distinctive clinical symptoms in affected cattle, including elevated body temperature, excessive salivation, and the presence of skin nodules. Histopathological examination unveiled larger nodules compared to previous outbreaks, along with signs of secondary infection.

Capripoxviruses (CaPVs), such as lumpy skin disease, sheep pox, and goat pox, cause significant production and economic losses and are major constraints to the growth of livestock production in endemic areas. Understanding the pathogenic mechanism of CaPVs and their translation into clinical applications depends on the availability of a suitable cell line. In this study, we used a lentiviral packaging system to establish an immortalized hTERT-bOEC cell line by ectopic introduction of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT).

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) has emerged as a threat to cattle production in Asia, and India has been facing LSD epidemics since 2019. Although water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is susceptible to natural LSDV infection, there have been no confirmed reports of LSDV infection in water buffalo in India. In this study, we investigated suspected cases of LSD in water buffaloes from 12 Indian states and one union territory during 2020-2023.

Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), a member of the capripoxvirus genus, induces lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle and buffalo populations. The initial documentation of LSD dates back to 1929 in Zambia, with subsequent rapid dissemination within the cattle community in Africa and Asia. Described as the "smallpox" equivalent in cattle, LSD manifests through clinical features such as fever, extensive cutaneous nodules, body wasting, lymph node enlargement, and skin edema.

Article Synopsis
- The study demonstrates the effectiveness of Nanotrap Microbiome A Particles (NMAPs) in capturing and concentrating highly infectious animal viruses to enhance their recovery and detection sensitivity using real-time PCR techniques.
- Five significant animal viruses were tested, showing a substantial increase (up to 100 times) in detection sensitivity after using NMAPs compared to untreated samples.
- Additionally, the study explores challenges in capturing viruses from whole blood, particularly the interference caused by hemoglobin, and suggests solutions to improve virus recovery for practical applications in agriculture.
