Abstract

In India, a newly emerging viral disease known as lumpy skin disease (LSD) affects cattle and buffalo. Arthropods (mosquitoes, biting flies, Culi-coides midges, and three blood-sucking hard ticks) that operate as mechanical vectors are the primary means of disease transmission. Skin nodules all over the body, fever, lacrimal discharge, nasal discharge, anorexia, decreased milk yield, emaciation, sadness, and unwillingness to move are some of the most significant clinical symptoms. Since the first discovery of lumpy skin disease in India, the condition has been swiftly spreading throughout the nation, posing a potential threat to the production and survival of the cow and buffalo populations.
 Through the Middle East, lumpy skin disease of cattle (LSD) has since spread outside of Africa. It is now threatening to become a worldwide pandemic, with india possibly next in its path.
