“…Here, dexamethasone along with antihistamine, oxytetracycline and meloxicam combined treatment plan recovered LSD infected cattle faster (28.35±0.56) than other groups. There were good results in cows using 10% oxytetracycline and dexamethasone together intramuscularly (Feyisa, 2018) and this result is similar to our result. After using these drug lesions such as fever and nodular skin lesions were subsided remarkably.…”

| Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly infectious eruptive viral disease of cattle, caused by LSD virus (LSDV) under the family Poxviridae and transmitted by direct contact or through biological vectors such as mosquitoes, flies and ticks. Sporadic cases of LSD have been observed in cattle elsewhere. The aim of the present study was undertaken to evaluate the present scenario of LSD and its clinical management at different house-holds at south-west region of Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was developed and data were collected from the two upazila (Monirampur and Abhaynagar) at Jessore district. A total of 52 small house-holds and 183 cattle were observed the study period from 15 June to 15 August 2019. LSD was diagnosed on the basis of present clinical signs guided by the OIE manual. All data were analyzed by Epi Info 7 and SPSS statistical software. Analyzed data revealed that young female cattle were mostly susceptible to this disease. Poor intra-herd hygienic conditions and managemental practices could aggravate the disease manifestation. Contrarily, no significant difference was observed in between good and medium quality intraherd level hygienic environments. Five different treatment protocols were applied for recovery of the affected cows; where no significant differences were estimated among the treatment protocol in contrast to recovery from LSD. However, dexamethasone, chlorpheniramine maleate, combination of oxytetracycline and meloxicam showed apparently good results. Interestingly, most of the household in this study area never used mosquito curtains at their cattle house at the night. From this data, it was concluded that LSD affects both sex of animals and young female are most susceptible. Poor intra-herd hygienic conditions and managemental practices could act as a cofactor for disease occurrence. Further researches are needed to find out better clinical management of LSD, identification of risk factor and molecular characteristics of this disease in Bangladesh.

“…The results of the study indicated that the duration of recovery (based on the rate of regression of lumps) was almost similar in the groups. The findings of group 1 and group 2 were in accordance to the established findings where LSD was successfully managed with 10% Oxytetracycline in a bull and Enrofloxacin in cattle respectively [11,12] . The rate and duration of recovery in Group 3 was comparable to the remaining two groups.…”

Antibiotics do not show effect on infections of solely viral origin. Lumpy Skin Disease is a viral disease where antibiotics are not clinically indicated. Due to monetary worth of high producing animals, Veterinarians are resorting to use antibiotics in LSD as a preventive measure against secondary bacterial infections. Eighteen animals with lumps on the skin were selected and randomly distributed into 3 groups of 6 animals each. Two groups were treated with commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics and the third group was treated with Neem oil topically over the lesions and were offered fresh Neem leaves smoke. As a result, Lumpy skin disease was treated economically without the inclusion of antibiotics where Neem oil and fresh neem leaves smoke guarded the animals from the risk of secondary bacterial infection. This approach eliminates the risk of antimicrobial resistance, minimises the cost of treatment, and eliminates antibiotic induced undesirable depopulation of rumen microflora.

“…Exotic and crossbred cattle are comparatively more susceptible than indigenous cattle and buffaloes (Kiplagat et al 2020). Young calves (early age group), lactating cows, and malnourished animals appear to naturally acquire more severe disease (Carn 1995, Mulatu andFeyisa 2018). It may be due to impaired humoral immunity.…”

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an OIE notifiable, transboundary pox viral disease of livestock. LSD is an emerging disease severely affecting livestock economics. The zoonotic potential of the LSD virus has not been extensively studied and reported. In approximately 90 years, the virus dispersed to numerous world locations after its first emergence in Zambia. LSD virus emergence in South Asia prevailed among livestock (cattle and water buffalo) owners due to economic/financial losses. The estimate of the economic impact of LSD in the southern, eastern and southeastern countries suggested direct losses of livestock and production of approximately USD 1.45 billion. In 2019, nearly the same time, the disease was reported for the first time from many bordering countries, such as India, Nepal, China, and Bangladesh. In 2020, the LSD was also recorded in Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Southeast China. In 2021, it further spread to new countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia. Cattle affected with LSD show a characteristic nodular lesion or skin lump over the whole body and may occasionally be associated with systemic signs. Hematophagous arthropod-borne mechanical transmission is considered primary and the most common route; however, other transmission routes related to illegal animal trade have played a role in the emergence of LSD in countries otherwise/earlier free from it. Among serological diagnostic tests, OIE recommends virus neutralization as the standard gold test. Diagnosis in LSD-free countries requires virus isolation and further sequencing of the isolate. Control of LSD is possible by most of the measures applied for rapidly transmitting viral infection, including vaccination. LSD virus-specific vaccines are considered suitable to confer protection to cattle and buffalo over heterologous vaccines. In countries such as India, the lack of a specific policy for LSD at the time of the first onset of this disease, the high density of susceptible unvaccinated populations, unawareness among farmers, veterinarians and prevailing laws of no slaughter of cattle created a favourable situation of its spread to many states. Amid COVID-19, the whole world is in turmoil; the emergence of diseases such as LSD is further lowering the economy, and hence must be reviewed to save and sustain the backbone of the developing country's economy in Southeast Asia.
