Abstract :
Lumpy skin disease is a life threatening
disease mainly seen in cattle's and buffalo's. It possesses
a double stranded DNA genome which encodes 30
duplicates of poxvirus proteins, structural as well as nonstructural. In 1929, the first case of lumpy was noted in
Zambia then, it spread to Andaman and Nicobar,
northern, western states, 8 states of India, and Union
Territory as well. From last 10 years, LSD has expanded
rapidly into Eastern Europe and China. Due to this
virus, approximately 7300 cows were deceased and more
than 1.60 lakhs were affected. LSDV leads to infertility
in males and lose of milk production in females. Virus
can be directly transmitted by sharing food and water
with infected animals or by infected animals nasal and
salivary discharge or by sucking of milk by calves as well
as Insects that feed on blood (arthropods vectors)
transmit the disease indirectly i.e. mosquitoes, butterflies
and ticks. South-East Europe controlled this viral
infection through use of the live-attenuated LSDV
vaccine based upon the Neethling strain of the virus, but
this vaccine can also cause adverse reaction, with clinical
signs similar to infections with virulent LSDV. Different
medicines and home remedies show positive results
against infected cattle's. There are various test
performed for the analysis of the lumpy virus.
