Abstract
Viral diseases are generally considered to be the most serious diseases affecting animals due to the lack of effective treatments compared to bacterial or parasitic diseases. Diagnosis of the symptoms of the disease at the moment of emergence is considered the basis of control and elimination. The lumpy skin disease is considered one of the infectious and dangerous viral diseases affecting cows.
The study was conducted using 40 cows about two and three years old. These animals were divided into four groups. The first group contained a number of ten ostensibly healthy animals and this group was regarded as control group. The other thirty have been introduced to the experiment after the appearance of nodular lesions and symptoms of LSD which confirmed by histopatholgical examination.
Blood samples were taken from healthy and infected animals from the jugular vein at the beginning of the symptoms until the third day according to the arrival of the owner of the case and these samples were considered the first and second group respectively. Then samples were taken from animals on the day (5-8) (group III) and the last samples were collected on the day (12-15) (group IV).
After collecting the blood samples according to the previous design, the blood sample was divided from each animal into two parts; the first part was 0.5 ml and was taken in EDTA tubes in order to measure the hemogram profile. The second part was taken with a minimum of 5 ml in.
