Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD)

- Prevention and Control

Vaccination is the most effective control strategy. Types of vaccines include:

· Live attenuated LSDV vaccines

· Heterologous vaccines (e.g., sheep/goat pox vaccines)

· Use of insecticides and repellents

· Eliminating vector breeding sites

· Quarantine and culling of infected animals

· Restricting animal transport during outbreaks

· Hygienic disposal of dead animals and their waste

· Training farmers and veterinarians

· Surveillance and reporting systems
