Lumpy skin disease

Lumpy skin disease of cattle (LSD) (Exanthema Nodularis bovis, Dermatitis nodularis bovum) is a viral infectious disease in cattle characterized by fever, edema of subcutaneous connective tissue and organs, formation of nodes on the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes, respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.

Over 150 people including representatives of farms from the Sverdlovsk region and 8 nearby regions were involved.

Prevention consists in vaccination of clinically healthy animals: 1. The specific vaccine against lumpy skin disease which includes all 3 strains of the LSD virus of cattle - once, in early spring. Durable immunity remains for 1 year. 2. Nonspecific vaccine against sheep and goat pox - once at a dose of 10 ml per animal. The course of lump skin disease in ill vaccinated animals is easier. Vaccination is performed once in 2 years.
