dc.descriptionLumpy skin disease (LSD) is a newly emergedtransboundary animal disease (TAD) that is spreadingthrough the Middle East, Turkey, the Balkans, theCaucasus and Eastern Europe. The introduction of theLSD virus into naïve populations causes considerableeconomic losses due to the death of cattle, the decreasein their productivity, the cost of vaccination campaignsand, most importantly, its impact upon trade. The risk ofan imminent incursion into neighbouring and, until now,unaffected countries is very high, in particular forcountries sharing borders and (formal and informal) traderoutes. This is the case for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The spread of LSD has had a dramatic impact upon rurallivelihoods, which are strongly dependent upon cattle, andcan lead to significant loss of income for affected farmers.The effect at national level is also devastating, as thepresence of the disease comes with strict traderestrictions. These negative effects will increase as thedisease continues to spread, not only within affectedcountries, but also to neighbouring states. There is also ahigh potential for LSD to re-emerge in countries that haveconducted national vaccination campaigns.It was crucial to limit further incursions of the LSD virus,particularly to countries currently free from this disease,and therefore unfamiliar with it. The project’s objectivewas to reduce these risks in the following ways:(i) enhancing legal, regulatory preparedness andcoordination for LSD at national level, (ii) enhancingthe capacities of national veterinary services for LSDdetection, prevention and control, (iii) strengthening riskanalysis capacities for LSD, (iv) conducting awarenesscampaigns for veterinary services, field veterinarians,farmers and farmers’ associations and academia and(v) strengthening regional coordination.The project was ultimately effective in preventing
