FAO alerts countries in the Near East, North Africa and southern Europe to enhance preparedness for lumpy skin disease

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of cattle and water buffalo that has significant economic implications. The introduction of LSD to Libya and Algeria poses an increased risk of further spread of the virus to neighboring Near East, North Africa and South European countries. Considering the elevated risk, FAO is calling on people across these three regions to play their part in preventing LSD and remains fully committed to assisting and supporting Member Nations in addressing the prevention and control of this transboundary disease.
