Molecular Characterization and Epidemiology of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus in Bhutan, 2023. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a disease of cattle and other ruminants caused by the LSD Virus (LSDV). LSD infections are characterized by high morbidity, low mortality, and significant economic impact. Initially endemic to Africa only, LSD has spread to the Middle East, Europe, and Asia in the past decade.

Lumpy skin disease outbreaks in Egypt during 2017-2018 among sheeppox vaccinated cattle: Epidemiological, pathological, and molecular findings.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The General Organization of the Veterinary Services in Egypt has adopted a sheeppox vaccination policy to control lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle. Over the course of the last two years, recurrent outbreaks were reported, with animals showing severe ...

Outbreak Investigation, Isolation, and Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus in Cattle from North West Oromia Region, Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically significant viral disease because of its high morbidity and high production loss. Vaccination of cattle using LSD vaccines is a more effective disease preventive and control strategy in endemic countries such as Ethiopia. Despite high vaccination coverage, there is an increasing number of field reports of the

Detection, identification, and differentiation of sheep pox virus and goat pox virus from clinical cases in Giza Governorate, Egypt [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2016
Aim: To isolate, identify, and differentiate Capripoxviruses (CaPV) (sheep pox virus and goat pox virus) infections by egg inoculation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and 30 kDa RNA polymerase subunit gene-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

Identification of rpo30, a Vaccinia Virus RNA Polymerase Gene with Structural Similarity to a Eucaryotic Transcription Elongation Factor [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1990
Eucaryotic transcription factors that stimulate RNA polymerase II by increasing the efficiency of elongation of specifically or randomly initiated RNA chains have been isolated and characterized. We have identified a 30-kilodalton (kDa) vaccinia virus-encoded protein with apparent homology to SII, a 34-kDa mammalian transcriptional elongation factor ...

Epidemiological Study and Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle in Egypt. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) constitutes one of the most significant poxvirus infections impacting livestock and has a high morbidity rate and a comparatively low mortality rate. This study was designed to elucidate the epidemiology and the molecular analysis of LSDV using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the extracellular ...

A novel strain of lumpy skin disease virus causes clinical disease in cattle in Hong Kong

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e336-e343, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is an emerging poxviral pathogen of cattle that is currently spreading throughout Asia. The disease situation is of high importance for farmers and policy makers in Asia. In October 2020, feral cattle in Hong Kong developed multi‐focal cutaneous nodules consistent with lumpy skin disease (LSD).

Molecular Characterization of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Isolates from Outbreak Cases in Cattle from Sawena District of Bale Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease caused by LSD virus and is one of the most economically significant transboundary and emerging diseases of cattle. LSD causes considerable economic losses due to emaciation, damage to hides, infertility, and loss of milk production. In Ethiopia, the disease is distributed almost in all regions and is regarded

Emergence of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Infection in Yaks, Cattle-Yaks, and Cattle on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau of China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), which mainly infects cattle and can cause huge economic losses. In May 2023, yaks, cattle‐yaks, and cattle in Tibet (Xizang), China, developed fever, skin nodules, and severe discharges and were suspected to be cases of LSD.

Phylogenetic analysis of Gansu sheeppox virus isolates based on P32, GPCR, and RPO30 genes

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
Two outbreaks of sheeppox in sheep have occurred in Gansu Province, China. The P32, GPCR, and RPO30 genes were used as markers for differential diagnosis. We confirmed that the outbreaks were caused by sheeppox virus. Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the P32, GPCR, and RPO30 genes revealed a close relationship between the 2 isolates and Chinese ...
