Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly infectious disease of cattle caused by a virus of the Poxviridae family, genus Capripoxvirus. The disease has great economic effects on the global cattle industry. In this study, an outbreak of LSD among cattle which occurred in Nahr Atbara and Halfa El Jadida locations in Butana area, Kassala State in November, 2020 is described.
Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) antibody and nucleic acid were detected in specimens (n = 50) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
The virus was isolated on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of embryonated chicken eggs and identified by PCR. The number of animals at risk was 295 with a morbidity rate of 4.1% and a mortality rate of 2.4%.
LSDV was diagnosed for the first time in the Butana region, Kassala State, Eastern Sudan in 2020.
块状皮肤病（LSD）是一种由痘病毒科、山羊痘病毒属的病毒引起的高度传染性牛病。该病对全球牛业具有重大的经济影响。本研究描述了 2020 年 11 月在苏丹东部卡萨拉州巴特纳地区纳尔阿特巴拉和哈利法杰迪达发生的一次牛块状皮肤病暴发。
使用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）和聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测 50 份标本中的块状皮肤病病毒（LSDV）抗体和核酸。
该病毒在鸡胚的羊膜腔上分离，并通过 PCR 鉴定。风险动物数量为 295 头，发病率为 4.1%，死亡率为 2.4%。
2020 年，块状皮肤病病毒首次在苏丹东部卡萨拉州的巴特纳地区被诊断。
