Clinical diagnosis

Clinical diagnosisThe disease must be differentiated from pseudo-cowpox. Pseudo-lumpy skin disease produces lesions very close to these induced by lumpy skin disease. However, the slight depression observed in the centre of the nodules is characteristic of pseudo-lumpy skin disease (Scott, 1989).
