Abstract
Background: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an acute viral transboundary disease of cattle and buffalo with significant economic importance caused by the LSD virus in the Poxviridae family.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the regional prevalence of LSD in cattle and buffalo in Asian countries using a systematic approach.
Methods: A systematic search for articles on the prevalence of LSD in cattle and buffalo was performed via PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and article reference lists published between 1 January, 2012 and 28 February, 2025. Articles were selected according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence was estimated through a random effects meta-analysis model because significant heterogeneity existed among the studies.
Results: The overall pooled estimated prevalence of LSD in Asia was 25.2% (95% CI: 95% CI: 19.95-30.88%), with significant variations across species, countries, and diagnostic methods. Cattle had the highest pooled prevalence at 26.2% (95% CI: 20.73-31.96%), whereas buffalo reported much lower rates at 7.7% (95% CI: 3.60-13.00%), and epidemic cases presented the highest prevalence at 41.4% (95% CI: 0-98.1%). Temporal analysis revealed that the peak prevalence in 2016 was 74% (95% CI: 68.56-79.06%), and the lowest estimate in 2015 was 16.3% (95% CI: 3.25-36.47%).
Conclusion: This study reveals significant regional and species-based variations in LSD prevalence across Asia, with diagnostic methods and temporal trends influencing the results. These findings underscore the necessity for targeted surveillance and control strategies to address high-prevalence areas.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science.
Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.
We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency. For further information visit the Wiley Open Access website.
