Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a significant viral ailment affecting cattle and buffaloes, caused by the Capripox virus. This illness results in fever followed by the formation of stiff, round cutaneous nodules on the body. These nodules, ranging from 2 to 5 cm in diameter, lead to reduced milk yield, diminished draught power, abortions, infertility, and economic losses in the cattle trade. Given that the disease is transmitted by arthropod vectors like mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and fleas, the spread is challenging to control.
To prevent the transmission and impact of LSD, stakeholders are advised to adhere to the following dos and don’ts:
1. Prompt isolation of infected animals.
2. Avoid introducing suspected or febrile nodular skin-diseased animals to the farm.
3. Minimize common grazing areas to prevent direct contact.
4. Control vector populations using insecticides and repellents.
5. Apply ectoparasiticides to healthy animals.
6. Disinfect farm areas and vehicles carrying cattle using appropriate disinfectants.
7.      Use protective gear when handling infected animals.
8.      Implement strong bio-security measures.
9.      Close cattle markets near epicenters.
10.  Ban live cattle trade, fairs, shows, and movement to curb transmission.
11.  Drain stagnant pools of urine and water around cowshed premises.
12.  Quarantine new animals for a month before introducing them to the herd.
13.  Practice scientific disposal of carcasses.
14.  Report to Veterinary Health Centers for clinical surveillance.
15. Raise awareness among all stakeholders.
 These guidelines are issued to farmers, traders, and the public to collectively prevent the transmission of LSD.
