Development of a monoclonal antibody-based competitive ELISA for serological detection of lumpy skin disease virus
Xin Yin
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a transboundary viral disease of cattle caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), resulting in substantial economic losses and posing a serious threat to the global cattle industry and international trade. Effective serological surveillance is essential for disease control and for evaluating vaccination programs. However, most currently available serological assays rely on a limited number of viral structural proteins as antigens, which restricts antigen diversity an
