The cattle farming situation in the Mekong Delta during the period of 2022-2023.
Study implementation and sample collection site.
The prevalence rate of LSD at the animal distribution level across districts/towns/cities for research sampling.
Some symptoms of cattle infected with LSD; A: Inflammatory nodules appear all over the body; B: Cattle suffering from joint inflammation; C: Skin ulceration with a “reverse cone” shape.
Phylogenetic tree demonstrating the relationship between P32 gene sequences obtained from the Mekong Delta in Vietnam (shown in red and bold) and other Capripoxvirus P32 gene sequences acquired from GenBank.
Nucleotide sequence identity distances for the P32 gene of local LSDV isolates compared to reference LSDV, SPPV and GTPV virus published in GenBank.
