Some 35,000 cattle have died due to lumpy skin disease in nine Indian states as on August 23, 2022. Rajasthan and Gujarat reported the maximum number of cases, according to the department of animal husbandry. Around 900,000 cattle have been infected across the country, stated official reports. India has the world’s highest number of cattle (303 million) and the new virus poses a considerable threat, especially to stray cattle in the country. So, What is Lumpy skin disease or LSD?
Lumpy skin disease is a viral illness. It is caused by a lumpy skin disease virus of the capripoxvirus genus. LSD appears as nodules of 2-5 cm diameters all over the body, particularly around the head, neck, limbs, udder and genitals. The lump gradually becomes big deep wounds.
The virus mainly spreads through blood-sucking vectors, like houseflies, ticks, and mosquitoes during the monsoon months. LSD poses a greater threat to stray cattle as their movements are unrestricted and difficult to isolate, they added. The disease has spread to Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Jammu. In India, the LSD mortality rate is 2-3 per cent of the infected cattle. Mortality is also noted to be the highest among stray cattle as they are weaker and generally have low immunity.
Historically, LSD was confined to Africa and was first reported in 1929. But in recent years, the disease has spread in territories beyond the endemic areas in recent years. The disease reached China and India in August 2019 and by the end of 2020, it had spread to seven countries. Currently, 5 million healthy animals in these nine states have been vaccinated with the goat pox vaccine to prevent the spread of the disease. Goat pox vaccine is tried and tested in the country as the virus is antigenically similar to sheep and goat pox. Officials are targeting to vaccinate 900,000-1 million animals in the coming days.

Alison Segal and Emily Rebar were on duty when Gabriel Fernandez was admitted to Antelope Valley Hospital in Los Angeles. The eight-year-old later succumbed to the injuries he sustained during the sickening catalogue of abuse from Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre. The evil pair, who have both been jailed, subjected the defenceless youngster to the attacks because they thought he was gay. His short, tragic life, which ended in 2013, is the subject of Netflix’s new documentary series The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez. Nurse Alison Segal gave shocking evidence during the trial about the extent of the despicable injuries Gabriel had, ABC 7 reports. She said he had suffered BB gunshot wounds to his genitals, had cat litter in his stomach, burns over his body. She added: “There were abrasions. There were open wounds. There was bruising. There was swelling. There was marks on the legs. “There was skin missing off the top of the neck, so there were multiple injuries on Gabriel…head to toe.” Ms Segal added that Gabriel was place on a ventilator and his heart had stopped at least two times. “They had to resuscitate him with extreme measures,” she said. Mrs Segal also added he had a low temperature of 88 degrees when he arrived. Emily Rebar, a registered nurse, told the trial Gabriel was completely unresponsive and on life support. She added: “Every inch of Gabriel was bruised and swollen. His skin was kind of a black and blue … color. I remember he felt cold to the touch. The Netflix programme explores the staggering systemic failures that allowed Gabriel to be abused, tortured and eventually murdered – despite teachers raising concerns to the authories. Gabriel’s brother Ezequiel, who was 12 when he died, has described some of the horrific abuse he saw carried out. He said his little brother was tied up, gagged and locked in a tiny cabinet named ‘The Box’. Gabriel was also forced to eat cat litter and had to take cold baths while being pepper sprayed. Ezequiel says he was shot with a BB gun and hit with a belt. His teeth were knocked out with a baseball bat. Ms Segal said Gabriel’s killers had told doctors he had fallen in the shower but it was clear they were lying. She also said he had teeth missing and cuts inside his mouth. Pearl called 911 on May 22, 2013, to report that her son Gabriel had stopped breathing after slipping and hitting his head. He was rushed to hospital and declared brain dead. He died two days later. Before his tragic death, Gabriel confided in his teacher Jennifer Garcia and asked her a s
