BOOK EXCERPT:

The Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle that has dramatic effects on rural livelihoods, which strongly dependent on cattle. The disease slashes milk production and may lead sterility in bulls and fertility problems in females. It damages hides, and causes death due to secondary bacterial infections. Although traditionally limited to sub-Saharan Africa, LSD has slowly been invading new territories such as the Middle East and Turkey, and since 2015, most of the Balkan countries, the Caucasus and the Russian Federation, where the disease continues to spread and the risk of an imminent incursion into other unaffected countries, is very high. Veterinarians, cattle farmers, and others along the value chain are facing the disease for first time and are unfamiliar with LSD’s clinical presentation, its transmission routes and the available prevention and control options. This manual aims to fill these gaps by providing veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals with the in formation they need to promptly diagnose and react to an outbreak of LSD. Cattle farmers will also benefit from reading it.

BOOK EXCERPT:

"Lumpy skin disease(LSD) is a viral disease of cattle. Characterized by nodules on the skin, it is mostly transmitted by mosquitoes, by other hematophagous insects, and flies. The disease has dramatic effects on rural livelihoods, which are often strongly dependent on cattle, as it slashes milk production and may lead to sterility in bulls and fertility problems in females. It damages hides, and causes death due to secondary bacterial infections. Effects at national level are also devastating as the presence of the disease triggers strict trade restrictions. Although traditionally limited to sub-Saharan Africa, LSD has slowly been invading new territories such as the Middle East and Turkey, and since 2015, most of the Balkan countries, the Caucasus and the Russian Federation, where the disease continues to spread. The risk of an immenent incursion into neighbouring, still unaffected countries, is very high. In the current situation, veterinary services from affected and at-risk countries in the Middle East and Europe are facing the disease for the first time. Official veterinarians, cattle farmers, and others along the value chain are therefore unfamiliar with LSD's clinical presentation, its trasmission routes and the available prevention and control options. This manual aims to fill these gaps by providing veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals with the information they need to prompty diagnose and react to an outbvreak of LSD. Catttle farmers will also benefit from reading it.

Introduction And Spread Of Lumpy Skin Disease In South East And Southeast Asia

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a vector-borne disease of cattle and Asian water buffalo that is included on the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) list of notifiable diseases. In July 2019 LSD was introduced to Bangladesh, China and India and then spread to Nepal and Bhutan and in 2020 to various provinces of China and India. A qualitative risk assessment was conducted to assess the likelihood of introduction and/or spread of LSD in 23 countries in South, East and Southeast Asia based on information available up to 31 October 2020. The economic impact of LSD for South, East and Southeast countries was estimated to be up to USD 1.45 billion in direct losses of livestock and production. These losses may be higher, due to the severe trade implications for infected countries. This document provides an overview of LSD control approaches, including prevention. The cost-effectiveness estimation demonstrates a strong economic justification for vaccination and advocates for a regional approach to harmonize control measures.

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

A sensitive and effective disease surveillance system, providing early warning of outbreaks, is essential for effective control, reporting and communication of disease occurrence. It is an integral component of emergency preparedness. The key to success in handling animal disease epidemics is early detection. Disease reporting by those at the frontline, including private veterinarians, is key to enhancing passive disease surveillance. This publication equips private veterinarians with updated information on notifiable animal diseases in Myanmar, passive surveillance and information flow. It covers the sections in Myanmar animal health and livestock development law (2020) that are related to reporting disease information. It will help the country’s veterinary authorities to manage a disease problem before it becomes uncontrollable, thus, protecting the local livestock industry and ensuring food security for those closely dependent upon livestock. In this way, the publication contributes to SDG 1 No Poverty and SDG 2 Zero Hunger.
