SUMMARYLumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is of high economic importance and has spread rapidly to many European and Asian countries in recent years. LSDVs spread to China in 2019 and have caused severe outbreaks in multiple provinces. The LSDVs in China have not been well investigated. Here we isolated an LSDV (GD01/2020) in southeast China and investigated its features in replication, phylogenetics, and genomics. GD01/2020 caused a typical LSD outbreak and replicated well in MDBK cells as detected by a novel quantitative real-time PCR assay targeting the viral GPCR gene. GD01/2020 was similar in phylogenetics to the one circulating in Xinjiang, China in 2019, and distinct from the LSDVs identified in other countries. In genomics, GD01/2020 was a vaccine-recombinant similar to those identified in Russia. A total of 13 major putative recombination events between a vaccine strain and a field strain were identified in the genome of GD01/2020, which could affect the virulence and transmissibility of the virus. The results suggested that the LSD outbreaks in China caused by a virulent vaccine-recombinant LSDV from the same unknown exotic source, and virulent vaccine-recombinant LSDVs obtained transboundary transmissibility. This report shed novel insights into the diagnosis, transmission, and control of the disease.

Abstract Background Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a contagious viral disease of cattle caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). LSD has recently spread in Asia following outbreaks in the Middle East and Europe. The disease emerged in Bangladesh in July 2019 in the Chattogram district, then rapidly spread throughout the entire country. We investigated six LSD outbreaks in Bangladesh to record the clinical signs and collect samples for diagnostic confirmation. Furthermore, we performed the molecular characterization of Bangladesh isolates, analyzing the full RPO30 and GPCR genes and the partial EEV glycoprotein gene. Results Clinical observations revealed common LSD clinical signs in the affected cattle. PCR and real-time PCR, showed the presence of the LSDV genome in samples from all six districts. Phylogenetic analysis and detailed inspection of multiple sequence alignments revealed that Bangladesh isolates differ from common LSDV field isolates encountered in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, as well as newly emerged LSDV variants in Russia and China. Instead, they were closely related to LSDV KSGP-0240, LSDV NI2490, and LSDV Kenya. Conclusions These results show the importance of continuous monitoring and characterization of circulating strains and the need to continually refine the strategies for differentiating vaccine strains from field viruses.
