Abstract:
A contagious, eruptive, and occasionally fatal disease of cattle, lumpy skin disease is characterised by nodules on the skin and other body regions. The situation is frequently made worse by secondary bacterial infection. Although it can happen in the winter, its occurrence is greater in humid summer conditions. It is mainly common in low-lying areas and beside waterways. The time of incubation is 4 to 14 days. To prevent the transmission of infection, attenuated virus vaccines like the LSDV live attenuated vaccine and the sheeppox or goatpox virus live attenuated vaccine may be administered.
