Abstract

LUMPY skin is an infectious disease of cattle characterized by the eruption of cutaneous nodules on any part of the body together with generalized lymphadenitis. It has been known for some time in several African territories, including Northern Rhodesia (1929)1,2, Bechuanaland (1943)3, the Union of South Africa (1944)4, Southern Rhodesia (1945)5, Mozambique (1946)6, Swaziland (1946)7, Basutoland (1947)7, Madagascar (1954)8 and Belgian Congo (1955)9. The dates of first confirmation in these countries are in parentheses.
