“…The findings of this study agree with the reports of Islam et al (2009) in Sirajganj, Kamal et al (1996) age Wise Prevalence of ecTo-ParasiTes in caTTle It was observed that prevalence of ecto-parasites is higher in older aged >5 years (64.17%), followed by in calves <2 years (51.67%) and grown up animals aged 3-5 years (48.13%), respectively ( Table 2). However, Stuti et al (2007) reported that calves (below two year) were the most susceptible.…”

| Epidemiological examination of 400 cattle for ecto-parasitic infestation in Baghabari milk shade area of Sirajgonj district, Bangladesh was recorded high amid the period from April 2014 to March 2015 revealed 60.00 per cent to be pervaded with several species of ticks and mites. The prevalence rate was highest in the case of Rhipicephalus sanguinus (20.00%) followed by Boophilus microplus (18.75%), Haematopinus eurysternus (11.25%) and Linognathus vituli (10.00%). The result disclosed that the infestation rate was significantly (P<0.05) higher in female compare to male. The relationship between the age of cattle and the different species of ecto-parasitic infestation communicated that, mature >5 years (64.17%) cattle were more vulnerable than that young calves <2 years (51.96%) and of adolescent dairy cattle ages 2-5 years (48.13%).The ecto-parasitic infestation was more common in weak animals than ordinary sound cattle. Seasonal prevalence showed significantly (P<0.05) higher prevalence in rainy season (74.55%) followed by summer (67.80%) and winter (42.44%). The Mean parasitic burdens were 2.12±0.13 per square inches of heavily infected area. multocida, Brucella abortus and Salmonella typhimurium in man and animals ( Jongejan et al., 2004).

“…Similar information was provided with Islam et al (2009) who reported higher prevalence of ectoparasites in summer season than winter. Kamal et al (1996) reported the highest tick infestation rate in the summer, which declined gradually through the rainy season to its level in winter. Sanjay et al (2007) reported the seasonal prevalence of tick infestation significantly more during the rainy and summer season as compared to the winter season.…”

A study was carried out on 60 cattle and 34 (56.66%) were found infested with ticks and lice. Mean parasitic burden was 2.26  0.37 per square inches in cattle. Two species of arachnids, Haemaphysalis bispinosa (31.66%) andRhipicephalus sanguineus (28.33%) lice, Linognathus vituli (23.33%) were identified. Mean parasitic burden was high in case of R. sanguineus (4.33  0.48) followed by H. bispinosa (2.89 ± 0.62) and least in L. vituli (1.28 ± 0.16). Prevalence of ectoparasites were relatively higher in young animals aged > 1 -3 year (66.66%) followed by in calf aged  1 year (50%) and lowest in adult aged > 3 year (44.44%) in cattle. The mean parasitic burden was higher in case of young (2.80.60) followed by adults (1.75  0. 41) and calves (1.5  0.34). Infestation was higher in female (64.10%) than the male (42.85%). Prevalence of ectoparasites were relatively higher in summer (75%) followed by in winter (55%) and lowest in rainy season (40%). The mean parasitic burden was highest in summer (1.93  0.64) followed by in winter (1.72  0.54) and lowest in rainy season (1.5  0.50).

“…Tuppurainen et al showed the association of male Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks in LSDV transmission (Tuppurainen et al, 2013). Kamal et al (1996) reported the prevalence of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks in 65.45% cattle of Chittagong hilly area in Bangladesh, and it is noteworthy to mention that the first outbreak of LSDV infection was reported in Chittagong area of Bangladesh (OIE World Animal Health Information Database, 2019).…”

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly infectious and economically important transboundary disease of cattle caused by LSD virus (LSDV). LSD is characterized by fever and the appearance of nodular lesions in the skin covering all parts of the body. LSD is currently endemic in many African countries and causing significant economic losses. LSD has recently spread out of Africa into the Middle East region, and still continuing to spread other territories of the world. In September 15, 2019 the first occurrence of LSD outbreak in Bangladesh has been reported to the OIE (World Organization for Animal Health). LSD is a vector-borne disease, and climatic conditions of Bangladesh are favorable for the propagation of vectors, which should influence the rapid transmission of LSD in the cattle population of Bangladesh. Therefore, LSD may appear as a big challenge to cattle health in Bangladesh in the near future. Consequently, it is very important to take strategic plans and immediate control measures for LSD outbreak control and prevention in Bangladesh. In this review article, we will focus on epidemiology and modes of LSDV transmission, and its effective control and preventive measures to reduce or eradicate the LSDV infection from a recently infected country like Bangladesh. In addition, we will highlight on impacts of LSD outbreaks in cattle industry of Bangladesh, and necessity of farmers' awareness building and telemedicine service during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks in controlling LSD.
