Lumpy skin disease

Hidradenitis suppurativa Illustration of hidradenitis suppurativa on different skin colors. This condition usually appears as one or more tender bumps that fill with pus. It often occurs in the armpits. Hidradenitis suppurativa (hi-drad-uh-NIE-tis sup-yoo-ruh-TIE-vuh), also known as acne inversa, is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. The lumps usually develop in areas where your skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks and breasts. The lumps heal slowly, recur, and can lead to tunnels under the skin and scarring. Hidradenitis suppurativa tends to start after puberty, usually before age 40. It can persist for many years and worsen over time. It can affect your daily life and emotional well-being. Combined medical and surgical therapy can help manage the disease and prevent complications. Women are three times more likely to develop hidradenitis suppurativa, though this ratio can differ by location around the world. Also, Black people are more likely to develop this disease than people of other races. This could be attributed to genetic factors. Symptoms Hidradenitis suppurativa can affect one or several areas of the body. Signs and symptoms of the condition include: • Blackheads. Blackheads appear in small, pitted areas of skin, often appearing in pairs. • Painful pea-sized lumps. The condition usually starts with a single, painful lump under the skin that persists for weeks or months. More bumps may form later, usually in a...

The symptoms of this illness include a high fever, skin nodules, and superficially enlarged lymph nodes. In this article, we will learn about Lumpy Skin disease, its symptoms, treatment, and prevention. What is Lumpy Skin Disease? Cattle are susceptible to Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), which is brought on by the Poxviridae family member Capripoxvirus. The Neethling Virus is another name for this disease. When Lumpy Skin Disease was discovered for the first time in 1929, it was only seen in southern Africa and Madagascar. Since then, it has expanded to the Middle East, southern Europe, and Southeast Asia. Lumpy Skin Disease – Symptoms The symptoms of Lumpy Skin Disease are as follows: • 41°C high fever • Enlarged lymph nodes • The development of many nodules on the skin ( up to 5 cm in diameter) • Discharge from the nose and eyes • Lameness or a loss of mobility Lumpy Skin Disease – Incubation Period Four to fourteen days after the infection, Lumpy During this time, there are swollen superficial lymph nodes present. The next...

Who we are We are the global authority on animal health. Founded in 1924 as the Office International des Epizooties (OIE), in May 2003 we adopted the common name World Organisation for Animal Health. An intergovernmental organisation, we focus on transparently disseminating information on animal diseases, improving animal health globally and thus build a safer, healthier and more sustainable world • • • • • • Toggle submenu What we do We work to improve animal health and welfare across the globe. By collecting, analysing and disseminating veterinary scientific information, we encourage international solidarity in the control of animal health risks. Furthermore, we work across borders to foster a One Health approach, recognising that the health of animals, humans and the environment are interdependent. • Toggle submenu What we offer We oversee various programmes, both cross-sectoral ones and those focused on specific needs, to improve the capacities of Veterinary Services and Aquatic Animal Health Services. These programmes are designed to empower and guide countries in the development and implementation of sustainable national plans which go well beyond purely veterinary matters. • Toggle submenu Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) belongs to the family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopoxviridae, and genus Capripoxvirus. LSD is a disease of cattle characterised by fever, nodules on the skin, mucous membranes and internal organs, emaciation, enlarged lymph nodes, oedema of the skin...

Lumpy skin disease is a viral infection of cattle. Originally found in Africa, it has also spread to countries in the Middle East, Asia, and eastern Europe. Clinical signs include fever, lacrimation, hypersalivation, and characteristic skin eruptions. Diagnosis is by histopathology, virus isolation, or PCR. Attenuated vaccines may help control outbreaks. Lumpy skin disease is an infectious, eruptive, occasionally fatal disease of cattle characterized by nodules on the skin and other parts of the body. Secondary bacterial infection often aggravates the condition. Traditionally, lumpy skin disease is found in southern and eastern Africa, but in the 1970s it extended northwest through the continent into subSaharan west Africa. Since 2000, it has spread to several countries of the Middle East and in 2013 extended west into Turkey and several countries in the Balkans. More recently, outbreaks of lumpy skin disease were reported for the first time in Georgia, Russia, Bangladesh, and the People's Republic of China. The recent geographic spread of lumpy skin disease has caused international concern. The disease has not been recorded in the Western hemisphere or in Australia or New Zealand. Etiology and Epidemiology of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle The causal virus is related to that of Sheeppox and Goatpox Sheeppox virus (electron microscopy). Sheeppox and goatpox are serious, often fatal, diseases characterized by widespread skin eruption. Both diseases are confined to parts of so...

Lumpy skin disease virus Lumpy skin disease ( LSD) is an infectious disease in cattle caused by a Neethling virus. The disease is characterized by large fever, enlarged superficial lymph nodes and multiple nodules (measuring 2–5 centimetres (1–2in) in diameter) on the skin and mucous membranes (including those of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts). Onset of fever occurs almost one week after infection by the virus. This initial fever may exceed 41°C (106°F) and persist for one week. The nodular lesions involve the In mild cases of LSD, the clinical symptoms and lesions are often confused with Lumpy skin disease virus [ ] Classification [ ] Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is double-stranded DNA virus. It is a member of the Structure [ ] Like other viruses in the Poxviridae family, capripoxviruses are brick-shaped. Capripoxvirus virions are different than [ citation needed] Genome [ ] The virus has a 151-kbp genome, consisting of a central coding region which is bounded by identical 2.4 kbp-inverted terminal repeats and contains 156 genes. Epidemiology [ ] LSDV mainly affects Bos indicus breeds exhibit relative to Bos taurus breeds. Transmission [ ] Outbreaks of LSDV are associated with high temperature and high humidity Biomyia fasciata, The virus can be transmitted through blood, nasal discharge, lacrimal secretions, semen and saliva. The disease can also be transmitted through infected milk to suckling calves. [ citation needed] Immunity [ ] Artificial immunity ...
