Genomic Analysis of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus from Western and Central Africa Suggests a Distinct Sub-Lineage Within the 1.2 LSDV Cluster

2025-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) is a highly contagious, transboundary pathogen that affects cattle, causing sig-nificant economic losses, particularly in Africa and Asia. While the virus was originally endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, it has rapidly spread to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, necessitating comprehensive genomic surveil-lance. Despite LSDV’s African origins, genomic data from West and Central Africa...
