1) Lumpy skin disease was first reported in Indonesia in February 2022 in Riau Province, and has since spread to several other provinces, most recently to Central Java in August 2022. 2) As of February 2023, over 249,000 cattle have been vaccinated across 9 provinces as a control measure. Other control measures include movement restrictions, vector control, and educating farmers. 3) Key challenges to control efforts include the extensive animal farming system, illegal animal movement, limited number of vaccinators, and high workload from controlling both lumpy skin disease and foot-and-mouth disease. Recommended solutions include improving handling capacity, better border control, engaging other institutions to assist with vaccination

around 6 months for the cases to spread
to Java Island. Central Java reported the
highest cases.

• Circular letter for LSD preparedness
to relevant stakeholders
• Developed contingency plan
guideline
• Added LSD as a priority disease
report in the iSIKHNAS
• Laboratory diagnostic training
• Clinical diagnostic training
• Emergency authorization of vaccine
use regulation

7. Lumpy Skin Disease Symposium 14-16 March 2023 - Rome, FAO-HQ
KEY MEASURES
1. Prevent contact between
susceptible animals LSD virus:
movement control
2. Stop LSD virus circulation in the
environment: vector control
3. Increase resistance/immunity of
susceptible animals: vaccination

8. Lumpy Skin Disease Symposium 14-16 March 2023 - Rome, FAO-HQ
Prevent contact between
susceptible animals LSD virus:
educate and support farmers,
movement control
• At farmer’s level: giving supportive
therapy to affected animals and
educate farmers not to sell the sick
animals
• At administrative area level:
movement control between areas
(infected, free and suspected
areas)

9. Lumpy Skin Disease Symposium 14-16 March 2023 - Rome, FAO-HQ
Vector Control
• Identification the type of
insects on the premises
• Implement chemical agent
and natural approach
(smoking, net installment)

10. Lumpy Skin Disease Symposium 14-16 March 2023 - Rome, FAO-HQ
Increase Resistance/Immunity
of Susceptible animals:
vaccination
• Ring vaccination: is implemented in
areas that reported outbreaks
Vaccination is conducted from 10
km outside the infected epi unit
(village)
• Preventive vaccination: is
implemented in “free” areas which
are bordered with the infected
areas

Mar/2022 6370

Vaccination is implemented in
9 provinces, covering 249196
doses (updated 27 February
2022)

12. Lumpy Skin Disease Symposium 14-16 March 2023 - Rome, FAO-HQ
Main challenges Recommended solution
Extensive animal farming system Increase the capacity of field officers' in handling
animals by utilizing specific handling equipment
Illegal Animal movement Identification high risk areas for more effective
border control
Limited number of officers to implement
vaccination
Engaging other institutions for more vaccinators
High workload for FMD (vaccination, animal
identification) affecting the LSD control
Combining control measures for LSD and FMD
