Lumpy skin disease incursion modelling

Ausvet was commissioned by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to utilise evidence-based risk models and literature reviews to improve our understanding of the risks of lumpy skin disease (LSD) incursions via non-regulated pathways. These analyses will help to guide biosecurity plans to protect Australia’s cattle industry – project summary and documents available here
