Detection and molecular characterization of lumpy skin disease and bovine papular stomatitis viruses in lumpy skin disease-suspected outbreaks in Tanzania
These findings confirm the presence of LSDV in Tanzania, which suggesting the need for establishing an effective control program and continuous monitoring. The presence of a typical profile for Tanzania BPSV is an indication that, although never reported before, BPSV is established in the country therefore this virus should be included in the differential diagnosis of LSDV.
