Abstract
This study was conducted in Basrah during the period from July 2019 till June 2020; 1022 cattle were concluded in this study; the tissue samples were collected from 80 clinically suspected cattle. This study revealed that the incidence of Lumpy skin disease (LSD) in Basrah according to the clinical picture was 7.82% (80 out of 1022). All 80 samples of cows with clinical signs were positive to PCR examination. The study also revealed that the incidence of LSD in calving was significantly higher than that reported in adult cows (P < 0.05). The study also revealed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of LSD between males and females (P > 0.05). The main clinical finding of LSD was fever, skin lumps, increase respiratory rate, nasal discharge, and limb edema, loss of weight, depression, diarrhea, lameness, enlarged lymph node, and dyspnea. The monthly distribution of disease revealed that the disease was a higher incidence in spring months compared with other months (p < 0.05).
