Abstract

      Lumpy skin disease (LSD) has frequently been described as a serious menace to cattle. The early, observable clinical indications of this disease are lump-like nodules in the mucous membranes and skin along with fever and enlarged lymph nodes. Any breed, gender and age of cattle is vulnerable to the condition. The disease was endemic in the majority of Sub-Saharan African countries and spread to the Middle East, Europe, and also to Asia recently. The disease was initially detected in Bangladesh in July 2019 before spreading to China, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Myanmar in the South-Eastern region of Asia. The highest morbidity was noticed in Chattogram of Bangladesh. While it was lowest in Cuttack of India. There is yet no confirmation of specific susceptible areas in other nations. When taking into account the current LSD situation report from the remainder of Asia, there is no epidemiological proceeding. The best treatment for reducing the risk factors of the disease might be strict quarantine, vector control, and prophylactic vaccination. Future research should focus on understanding the true impact of LSD on livestock and its potential risk factors from a geographic perspective.
