Abstract: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an acute viral disease of cattle with major economic impacts and recently emerged very common in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the prevalence, temporal distribution, and risk factors for clinical LSD. The present study was performed in the District Veterinary Hospital, Sylhet during the period of January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 2762 cattle were examined where 377 cattle were found to be infected with Lumpy Skin Disease virus based on the clinical inspection, clinical history and owners complain .
