A survey of viral diseases of livestock characterized by skin lesions in Kanam Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria

Abstract: A survey on the status of viral diseases of livestock characterized by skin lesions was carried out between November, 2016 and March 2017 in Kanam Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State, Nigeria. Questionnaires were administered and suspected cases of Lumpy skin disease (LSD), Goat pox (GTP), Contagious ecthyma (CE) and Bovine papilloma (BP) were investigated. Samples collected were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The questionnaires were administered to livestock farmers (n=109), butchers (… Show more

“…Interestingly, farmers that participated in the study claimed LSD is as important as FMD probably due to the impact of the disease on their herds. In previous studies in Nigeria, majority of cattle herders/pastoralists were familiar with LSD and the common name of the disease amongst transhumance herders is 'Bollo' which shows the disease may be endemic, but neglected (Gambo et al, 2018). Over all morbidity of 16% and mortality rate of 2% was obtained in this study which is higher than the report of Adedeji et al (2018) with morbidity rate of 6.25%, but mortality rate of 2.5%.…”

“…Lumpy skin disease is endemic but neglected disease of cattle in Nigeria. This study was designed in response to repeated outbreaks of (Gambo et al, 2018;Ifende et al, 2019). The study identifies the epidemiological features and economic impact of LSD on subsistence smallholder cattle farmers in the study area.…”

“…Skin lesions can be clinically misdiagnosed as other cutaneous diseases. Economically, poxvirus diseases cause losses due to damage to the skin, decreased milk and meat production and trade restrictions in addition to morbidity and mortality [ 3 , 4 ].…”
