Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an infectious affecting bovine with severe symptomatology. The implementation of effective control strategies to prevent infection outbreak requires rapid diagnostic tools. Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), targeting different epitopes the LSDV structural protein p32, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used set up a colorimetric sandwich-type lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). Combinations including one or two mAbs, either as capture detection reagent, explored...
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a notifiable, transboundary cattle that spreads rapidly and has relevant economic impact. The etiological agent the LSD virus (LSDV), genus Capripoxvirus, family Poxviridae. To date, LSDV widely present in Africa, Asia, transcontinental regions like Russia, Turkey, Middle East, thus representing continuous threat to free neighbours. Appropriate serosurveillance programs can complement control, inform about its spread, enable assessment of vaccination campaigns....
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a viral disease, widespread and highly contagious, that mainly affects cloven-hoofed domestic wild animals. FMD can lead to high economic losses due the reduction in animal production such as drop milk production, loss of body weight, mortality rate young ruminants. Sixteen samples were collected from animals showing typical clinical signs during last outbreak Libya 2018-2019. Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) cards impressed with blood, swabs, or vesicular...
