| Abstract:
|
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a serious cattle disease, produced by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). The virus is
classified in the genus Capripoxvirus within the subfamily Chordopoxvirinae of the family Poxviridae. The
typical clinical signs have been defined in detail by several authors. Briefly, in the majority of circumstances, the
initial evidence of infection is lachrymation and temperature (40–41C), but some cases are nonfebrile.
Subscapular and pre-crural lymph nodes become noticeably enlarged. Shortly after the onset of fever, skin
nodules (1–5 cm in diameter) become apparent, in varying numbers, from only a few to multiple lesions
covering the entire animal.
