Abstract
Lumpy skin disease (LSD), a viral disease of cattle, can be acute, subacute, or inactive. It is distinguished by fever and the abrupt emergence of firm, confined cutaneous nodules that usually necrotize. Similar lesions may occur in the skeletal muscles and the mucosae of the digestive and respiratory tracts. It is an enzootic, rapidly explorative, and sometimes fatal infection, characterized by multiple raised nodules on the skin of infected animals. LSDV has a large genome, it is employed as a vaccine carrier, generating a new complex with other viral genes by homologous recombination. This review summarizes our current knowledge of lumpy skin disease (LSD), its impact on animal health, host-pathogen interaction, etiology, signs or symptoms, prevention, and treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Viruses are convenient models for the elucidation of life processes. The study of viruses is again on the cutting edge of biological sciences: systems biology, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, using the newest most powerful tools.
Huge amounts of new details on virus interactions with the cell, other pathogens and the hosts – animal (including human), insect, fungal, plant, bacterial, and archaeal - and their role in infection and disease are forthcoming in perplexing details requiring analysis and comments.
Virus Genes is dedicated to the publication of studies on the structure and function of viruses and their genes, the molecular and systems interactions with the host and all applications derived thereof, providing a forum for the analysis of data and discussion of its implications, and the development of new hypotheses.
