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.

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 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) in cattle is managed through live-attenuated vaccines. Bangladesh LSD vaccine was developed from LSD virus isolate Bangladesh LSD-29 by passaging 60 times in cell culture. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Bangladesh LSD vaccine strain.

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.
