“…Meanwhile, the mechanism as a biological vector is still unclear (Horigan et al, 2018). Transmission of the LSD virus to humans has never been reported, this is in accordance with the statement of Choudari et al (2020) which states that LSD cannot be transmitted to humans (non zoonotic).…”

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is one of the diseases that pose a threat to the livestock industry because it can cause large economic losses. The disease was first discovered in the country of Zambia in 1929. In Indonesia, LSD was first discovered in early 2022 in Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau. This disease is caused by a virus belonging to the genus Capripoxvirus, subfamily chordopoxvirinae, family Poxviridae. The LSD virus has a limited host and does not infect non-ruminant hosts. A characteristic clinical symptom of LSD is the appearance of nodules on the skin. Diagnosis of this disease can be done by looking at typical clinical symptoms, laboratory tests such as virus isolation, serological tests (serum neutralization test, virus neutralization test (VNT), agar gel immune diffusion, indirect ELISA, and indirect fluorescent antibody technique (IFAT)), real time and conventional PCR, immunohistochemistry, LAMP, and IPMA. Prevention and control of LSD disease can be done in several ways such as vaccination, vector control, restriction of livestock traffic, strict quarantine and stamping out.

“…Production practices include monitoring of the infected animals, management of manure, effluents and carcasses which could be a further source of contamination [ 20 ]. Routine monitoring of sick cattle and disposal of different materials and carcasses should be mandatory with proper hygienic measures for effective control of this disease [ 171 ]. To minimize the risk of introduction and spread of disease or contaminants, personnel including employees, family, visitors, service personnel and veterinarians should use personal protective equipment (PPE) when attending the animals or for the disposal of carcasses [ 145 ].…”

Lumpy skin disease (LSD), a current global concern, causes economic devastation in livestock industries, with cattle and water buffalo reported to have higher morbidity and lower mortality rates. LSD is caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), a member of the Poxviridae family. It is an enzootic, rapidly explorative and sometimes fatal infection, characterized by multiple raised nodules on the skin of infected animals. It was first reported in Zambia in 1929 and is considered endemic in Africa south of the Sahara desert. It has gradually spread beyond Africa into the Middle East, with periodic occurrences in Asian and East European countries. Recently, it has been spreading in most Asian countries including far East Asia and threatens incursion to LSD-free countries. Rapid and accurate diagnostic capabilities, virus identification, vaccine development, vector control, regional and international collaborations and effective biosecurity policies are important for the control, prevention, and eradication of LSD infections. This review critically evaluates the global burden of LSD, the chronological historical outbreaks of LSD, and future directions for collaborative global actions.

The novel bovine viral infection known as lumpy skin disease is common in most African and Middle Eastern countries, with a significant likelihood of disease transfer to Asia and Europe. Recent rapid disease spread in formerly disease-free zones highlights the need of understanding disease limits and distribution mechanisms. Capripox virus, the causal agent, may also cause sheeppox and Goatpox. Even though the virus is expelled through several bodily fluids and excretions, the most common causes of infection include sperm and skin sores. Thus, vulnerable hosts are mostly infected mechanically by hematophagous arthropods such as biting flies, mosquitoes, and ticks. As a result, milk production lowers, abortions, permanent or temporary sterility, hide damage, and mortality occur, contributing to a massive financial loss for countries that raise cattle. These illnesses are economically significant because they affect international trade. The spread of Capripox viruses appears to be spreading because to a lack of effectual vaccinations and poverty in rural areas. Lumpy skin disease has reached historic levels; as a consequence, vaccination remains the only viable option to keep the illness from spreading in endemic as well as newly impacted areas. This study is intended to offer a full update on existing knowledge of the disease's pathological characteristics, mechanisms of spread, transmission, control measures, and available vaccinations.
