AI Article Synopsis

  • - Clinical lumpy skin disease (LSD) primarily impacts cattle and, to a lesser extent, domestic water buffalo, with recent outbreaks spreading to Asia.
  • - Initially studied in Africa, LSD is now recognized as a significant viral threat in various wild and domestic ungulate species across Asia.
  • - The article outlines the confirmed cases of LSDV infection in these ungulate species and discusses the implications for their health and management in the region.

Article Abstract

Clinical lumpy skin disease (LSD) predominantly affects cattle and, to lesser extent domestic water buffalos. Whilst earlier work focussed on the disease in Africa, the recent emergence of LSD virus (LSDV) as a major cause of disease in Asia has led to a widening range of susceptible hosts for the virus. This article lists the wild and domestic ungulates in which LSDV infection has been confirmed and considers the significance of the disease for these species in Asia.

Neethling Strain-Based Homologous Live Attenuated LSDV Vaccines Provide Protection Against Infection with a Clade 2.5 Recombinant LSDV Strain.

Vaccines (Basel)

December 2024

Sciensano (Belgium), Service of Exotic and Vector-Borne Diseases (ExoVec), Groeselenberg 99, B-1180 Ukkel, Belgium.

Background: Vaccination is the main control measure to prevent Lumpy skin disease (LSD), and Neethling-based homologous vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective against infection with classical clade 1.2 strains. In 2017, recombinant clade 2 LSDV strains originating from a badly produced and insufficiently controlled vaccine were first detected in Russia.

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.
