Multiplication of vectors, stray cattle main reasons behind spread

A total of 35,000 cattle have died due to lumpy skin disease in nine Indian states as of August 23, 2022, according to the Union department of Animal Husbandry. Around 900,000 cattle have been infected, as the department tries to contain any further spread of the disease. 

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral illness, caused by lumpy skin disease virus of the capripoxvirus genus in the poxviridae family. 

It appears as nodules of two-five centimetre diameters all over the body, particularly around the head, neck, limbs, udder and genitals. The lumps gradually open up like large and deep wounds. 

Two main reasons for the spread are the multiplication of vectors like houseflies, ticks as well as mosquitoes during the monsoon months and the unrestricted movement of stray cattle. 

Stray cattle pose a problem because they are difficult to isolate, said regional officer, livestock health, department of animal husbandry and dairying, to Down To Earth (DTE).
