| dc.description.abstract | The rise in cases of lumpy skin disease in South Africa could have a severe economic impact, as the disease weakens livestock, permanently damages hides, and can lead to 10% more deaths and abortions, experts have warned. “This year’s above-average rainfall has led to an increased risk of insect-transmitted diseases. We’re seeing increasing numbers of lumpy skin disease outbreaks in cattle in South Africa,” Professor Jannie Crafford of the University of Pretoria Faculty of Veterinary Science’s Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (DVTD) said. | en_ZA |
