Summary. Lumpy skin disease (LSD, nodular dermatitis of cattle) — is the contagious poxviral disease of cattle. It is characterized by severe losses and different ranges of mortality and morbidity. The disease is endemic in many Asian and African countries. The article is devoted to explanation of LSD history, epizoothology, and distribution, risks associated with the disease, diagnostics, differential diagnostics and prevention. The situation regarding LSDV introduction to Ukraine is likely to be non-optimistic. Russia, Caucasian countries, and Bulgaria high LSD-associated risks put our territory on high range of risk regarding LSDV introduction. Disease introduction probabilities could be estimated as extremely high, and high from the side of Russia. NSC ‘IECVM’ in collaboration with SSRILDVSE developed the in house PCR-based protocol for LSDV detection that requires fast implementation. Joint collaboration in area of development regional LSDV distribution control policy and contingency plan are required.

Keywords: lumpy skin disease, risk analysis, epidemiology, diagnostics, animals
