Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has urged the central government to provide financial and necessary assistance to save cows in the state from lumpy skin disease. "The state government is taking all possible measures to control the disease. The chief minister has appealed to the Centre to provide financial assistance to control the spread of the infection," according to an official statement.Gehlot has also appealed to gaushala operators, public representatives and voluntary organisations to cooperate with the state government to control and prevent the disease. The disease is characterized by fever, enlarged superficial lymph nodes and multiple nodules (measuring 2-5 centimetres (1-2 in) in diameter) on the skin and mucous membranes (including those of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts). Infected cattle also may develop edematous swelling i...

As cases of lumpy skin disease (LSD) surge among India’s cattle population, an indigenous vaccine launched a month ago is still awaiting approval for emergency use. Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar launched the shot developed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) August 10, 2022. The vaccine needs the nod for emergency use from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD). The delay is mainly due to confusion over the vaccine’s efficacy and questions about who will be responsible for producing it. There have been several meetings between the officials of the ICAR and the animal husbandry department, the most recent September 5, over granting emergency approval for the Lumpi-ProVacInd vaccine. Read more: Lumpi-ProVacInd has been developed by ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines (ICAR-NRCE), Hisar, Haryana, in collaboration with ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar, Uttar Pradesh. Currently, India is administering the goat pox vaccine for LSD, which has killed about 50,000 bovines and infected around 12 lakh cattle. It’s a heterologous vaccine that offers cross-protection (up to 60-70 per cent) for cattle against the disease. Goat pox, sheep pox and LSD belong to the same capripoxvirus genus. Lumpi-ProVacInd is a homologous vaccine made with the same virus as the disease. Homologous live-attenuated vaccines provide better and longer immunity compared to heterologous ones, according to ex...

In the latest data, the health officials have confirmed that the viral disease has infected over 5,000 cattle in Uttar Pradesh, which has disrupted milk production as well. Not just in UP, the viral disease has entered other states too. Over the last few weeks, nearly 3,000 cattle have died in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Focusing on the seriousness of the disease and its high transmission rate, many states have also put a ban on the movement of cattle. Now, to know more about this disease which is killing cattle across India, let's understand this virus. How does it transmit from one person to another, what are the symptoms that it can cause and everything else related to it. What Is The Lumpy Skin Disease? The Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is caused by a virus called the Capripoxvirus and is one of the biggest threats to livestock worldwide. This virus genetically belongs to the goatpox and sheeppox virus family. Who Is The Carrier of This Virus? Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) mainly infects cattle and water buffalo through vectors such as blood-feeding insects. Some of the signs and symptoms of this infection include the appearance of circular, firm nodes on the animal's hiding or skin (it usually looks like lumps on the skin). According to the experts, the animals who get infected by the LSD virus usually start losing weight suddenly and then they develop symptoms like f...

Lumpy skin disease is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), which belongs to the genus capripoxvirus, a part of the poxviridae family (smallpox and monkeypox viruses are also a part of the same family). The LSDV shares antigenic similarities with the sheeppox virus (SPPV) and the goatpox virus (GTPV) or is similar in the immune response to those viruses. It is not a zoonotic virus, meaning the disease cannot spread to humans. It is a contagious vector-borne disease spread by vectors like mosquitoes, some biting flies, and ticks and usually affects host animals like cows and water buffaloes. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), infected animals shed the virus through oral and nasal secretions which may contaminate common feeding and water troughs. Thus, the disease can either spread through direct contact with the vectors or through contaminated fodder and water. Studies have also shown that it can spread through animal semen during artificial insemination. LSD affects the lymph nodes of the infected animal, causing the nodes to enlarge and appear like lumps on the skin, which is where it derives its name from. The cutaneous nodules, 2–5 cm in diameter, appear on the infected cattle’s head, neck, limbs, udder, genitalia, and perineum. The nodules may later turn into ulcers and eventually develop scabs over the skin. The other symptoms include high fever, sharp drop in milk yield, discharge from the eyes and nose, salivation, loss...

This deadly virus is killing cattle in 8 states of the country including Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab. Due to the lumpi virus, the production of about one lakh liters of milk has decreased daily in Gujarat alone. The highest number of cows have died in Rajasthan, the figure has crossed 14 thousand. Question 1: What is Lumpy Skin Disease or LSD? Answer: Lumpy skin disease is a disease caused by a virus called capripox in cattle like cows and buffaloes. It spreads very fast from one animal to another. This virus is similar to the virus responsible for viral infections such as goat pox in goats and sheep pox in sheep. Capripox comes from the same poxviridae virus family that causes diseases such as smallpox and monkeypox. Question 2: How dangerous is the lumpy v...

By Abhishek Mishra: The Lumpy virus is rapidly spreading across several districts in Uttar Pradesh. So far, 236 cattle have succumbed to the virus while there are more than 25,000 cases across 2,600 villages in 25 districts. As many as 15 lakh cattle are currently in the infection zone. The catastrophic effect of the virus is not only visible in animals but it has also affected the production of milk and other businesses related to it. This immune belt passes through Bisalpur, Barkheda, Lalorikheda, Marori and Amaria development blocks of Pilibhit district via Khudaganj, Nigohi, Sidhauli, Bhawal Kheda, Kant, Jalalabad and Mirzapur development blocks of Shahjahanpur district, Kaimganj, Shamsabad and Rajepur development blocks of Farrukhabad district. via Kurawali of Mainpuri district, Sultanganj and Ghirour development blocks and Badhpura, Jaswantnagar, Saifai, Basrehar and Takha development blocks of Etawah. The process of making immune belts through vaccination was started by the Animal Husbandry Department, in which 100 per cent vaccination of the animals will be done. So far, belt vaccination of 2 lakh cattle and 12.56 lakh infection-related vaccinations have been done.

Infected cattle also may develop edematous swelling in their limbs and exhibit lameness. Lumpy skin disease can lead to significant economic losses since affected animals tend to have permanent damage to their skin, lowering the commercial value of their hide. Additionally, the disease often results in chronic debility, reduced milk production, poor growth, infertility, abortion, and sometimes death. The disease has been reporeted in several Indian states like Assam, Odisha, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, etc. Lumpy Skin Disease: Signs and Symptoms Onset of fever occurs almost one week after infection by the virus.
