Abstract
The lumpy skin disease virus, also known as
LSDV, is a member of the Poxviridae family and is responsible for lumpy skin
disease (LSD). It is a global disease that affects cattle and water buffaloes
and has significant economic ramifications. The disease, which is carried by
arthropod vectors, has a high morbidity and a low mortality rate. With a
morbidity incidence of 7.1% in cattle, LSD first appeared in India. Fever,
anorexia, and unique nodules on the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth,
nostrils, udder, genital, and rectum are the usual clinical manifestations of
the illness. Infertility, abortion, and occasionally death are other
possibilities. Africa and the Middle East are home to the disease, but it has
only just started to spread to extended to other continents, including Asia. It
has recently been covered in Chinese media, and Bangladesh and India share a
border. We have created a list of LSD epidemics that have happened in Asian
countries over the previous ten years for the first time. In India, the
epidemiological condition of the disease is still unknown. By immunizing
people, enforcing strict quarantine guidelines, and taking vector management
precautions, it would be able to stop the disease from spreading. This study
attempts to describe the most recent developments in epidemiology with a focus
on transboundary dispersion, aetiology and transmission, clinical symptoms,
diagnostics, and sickness treatment.
