The Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) Neethling vaccine strains have been used for decades for prophylactic immunization of domestic ruminants against the disease. Commercial products against Lumpy skin disease are supplied as live attenuated vaccines and often are associated with adverse reactions warranting studies towards development of safe and efficacious vaccine alternatives. The present study was designed to investigate the ability of Montanide™ Gel 01 PR adjuvanted inactivated Neethling vaccine strain of the lumpy skin disease to induce immune response in rabbits. Complete virus inactivation was achieved following treatment of live vaccine strain with binary ethyleneimine (BEI) at 2 mM final concentration. Inactivated virus antigen, formulated with Montanide™ Gel 01 was injected at 1,00E + 05 and 1,00E + 06 TCID per dose in rabbits. The second injection with same vaccine dosages was administered 21 days after the primary vaccination. Rabbits that received a 1,00E + 05 TCID/dose of inactivated LSDV vaccine formulation induced maximum neutralizing antibody titres on day 13 post second vaccinations. Rabbits vaccinated and prime boosted with the 1,00E + 06 TCID/dose of inactivated LSDV vaccine formulation, induced neutralizing antibody titres on day 14 after first vaccination. The maximum antibody titres for the 1,00E + 06 TCID/dose of the inactivated LSDV vaccine formulation was obtained on day 35 post vaccination. The 1,00E + 06 TCID dose of the inactivated LSDV vaccine Montanide™ Gel-01 PR formulation induced higher neutralizing antibodies. The Montanide Gel-01 PR offers safer profile to oil adjuvants and can be developed further to protect target animals against LSDV in non-endemic areas.

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.

The three members of the genus capripoxvirus (CaPV), lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), sheeppox virus (SPPV), and goatpox virus (GTPV) have common hosts and areas of overlapping geographical distribution with Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Hence, to ensure more cost-effective disease surveillance we developed and evaluated a Luminex assay for the simultaneous detection of antibodies against CaPV and RVFV in domestic ruminants. In cattle, the assay had a sensitivity (Se) of 98.

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.
