Abstract

Novel lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) strains of recombinant origin are on the rise in South East Asia following the first emergence in 2017, and published evidence demonstrates that such genetic lineages currently dominate the circulation. Mongolia reported first LSD outbreaks in 2021 in a north-eastern region sharing borders with Russia and China. For each of 59 reported LSDV outbreaks, the number of susceptible animals ranged from 8 to 8600 with a median of 572, while the number of infected animals ranged from one to 355 with a median of 14. Phylogenetic inferences revealed a close relationship of LSDV Mongolia/2021 with recombinant vaccine-like LSDV strains from Russia, China, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. These findings support the published data that the circulating strain of LSDV belongs to the dominant recombinant lineage recently established in the region.
