Abstract
Lumpy Skin Disease: Global and Turkish Perspectives
Highlights
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important infection since the presence of the disease affects cattle health and export of cattle products
Many cattle were affected in different regions of Turkey [4,5]
Results of the molecular analyses have indicated that Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) was found to be closer to goatpox than sheeppox
Summary
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a double-stranded DNA virus in the capripoxvirus genus of subfamily chordopoxvirinae within the family of poxviridae. It is an enveloped virus and has a genome size about 150 kbp coding for 147 genes. Crossreactions between poxvirus species have been well established [6] These viruses cannot be distinguished by serological tests. They can only be differentiated by molecular analyses. It is sensitive to sunlight and lipid solvents. It can be inactivated by heating at 55 °C for 2 hours and at 65 °C for 30 minutes [7]
