“…Lumpy skin disease is primarily transmitted by biting insects, particularly blood feeding insects, such as the mosquito [5]. Contact transmission between animals may occur at low rate but cannot be considered to play a significant role in transmission during epizootics [2] and [5].…”

Twelve serologically negative bulls were used, six were vaccinated with a modified live LSD vaccine and six unvaccinated. All were then experimentally infected with a virulent field strain of LSDV. No clinical abnormality was detected following vaccination, and mild clinical signs were seen in four vaccinated bulls following challenge. Virus was not found in semen of vaccinated bulls. Two of the unvaccinated bulls developed severe LSD and four showed mild symptoms, all excreted the virus in the semen following challenge.This study confirmed the ability of LSD vaccination to prevent the excretion of LSDV in semen of vaccinated bulls.

“…Body temperature was recorded daily and blood samples (EDTA and serum) were collected on 0, 3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,24 and 26 dpi after the transfer of partially fed ticks. Serum samples were tested for neutralizing antibodies using a constant-virus/varying-serum neutralization test [8].…”

Mechanical transmission of lumpy skin disease virus by Rhipicephalus appendiculatus male ticks

et al. 2012

SUMMARYLumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important, acute or sub-acute, viral disease of cattle that occurs across Africa and in the Middle East. The aim of this study was to investigate if lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) can be transmitted mechanically by African brown ear ticks (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neum.). Laboratory-bred R. appendiculatus males were fed on experimentally infected viraemic 'donor ' cattle. Partially fed male ticks were then transferred to feed on an uninfected ' recipient ' cow. The recipient animal became viraemic, showed mild clinical signs of LSD and seroconverted. Additionally, R. appendiculatus males were found to transmit LSDV through feeding on skin lacking visible lesions, demonstrating that viraemic animals without lesions at the feeding site of ticks may be a source of infection. This is the first time that transmission of poxviruses by a tick species has been demonstrated and the importance of this mode of transmission in the spread of LSDV in endemic settings is discussed.

“…The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) categorizes LSD as a notifiable disease because of the substantial economic impact of an outbreak. Haematophagous insects have been primarily associated with the transmission of LSDV (6). Ticks have recently been implicated in the transmission of LSDV like other arboviral diseases (1,10,20,21).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution patterns of LSDV infections in the provinces of northern Turkey, and to detect the factors influencing the epidemiology of LSD virus infections (age, breed, season, climate, geography, population dynamic, animal movement), as well as to assess the diagnostic value of the sampled materials in the diagnosis of LSDV infections. Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important cattle disease. The disease is endemic in many African countries, but outbreaks have also been reported in Turkey and the Middle East. In this study, a total of 564 samples (skin, blood and lung) from different cattle breeds (Jersey, Holstein-Friesian, Anatolian Black, Simmental and Brown Swiss) (n=465) in the many herds suspected of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) infection as clinically and macroscopic pathologic remarks, housed in the 7 different provinces of northern Turkey, were used for gel based conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). LSDV nucleic acid was detected in 259 of 564 (45.92%) materials by PCR. According to the result of PCR, the LSDV infection was diagnosed in 54.62% (254/465) of the sampled animals. The diagnostic value of necropsy and clinical materials such as skin and lung were determined as more valuable diagnostic materials in the diagnosis of LSDV infection by PCR. Data showed that LSDV infection was widespread in the provinces of northern Turkey and that the prevalence of the infection in the region varies in accordance with factors such as geographical conditions (climate, season, location etc.) and the method of breeding. .
