Lumpi-ProVacInd, an indigenous vaccine for lumpy skin disease (LSD), has been launched recently.
It has spread across states, causing deaths of hundreds of cattle since 2019.
Lumpi-ProVacInd, the vaccine, has been developed by two institutes under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
The disease was endemic in Africa.
In the last 2-3 years, after entrapping the southern states of India, an outbreak /epidemic of LSD has spread to Punjab and other states of northern India.
The disease occurs mostly in cows and somewhat less in buffaloes.
