Lumpy Skin Disease: Current Situation in Europe and Neighbouring Regions and Necessary Control Measures to Halt the Spread in South-east Europe
نویسنده
چکیده
Effective and safe vaccines against lumpy skin disease (LSD) are already commercially available. Large-scale vaccination combined with other appropriate control measures, can eliminate the outbreaks. In the absence of appropriate DIVA vaccines, carrying out preventive vaccination against LSDV in disease free but at-high risk countries, inflicts heavy export restrictions on live cattle and their products, inhibiting these countries from vaccinating prior to incursion. Since despite massive vaccination in many countries there is no evidence of the vaccine strain regaining virulence or spreading of the disease via cattle products, lifting unnecessary trade restrictions should be advocated.
