Geospatial Analysis of Lumpy Skin Disease Outbreaks among Cattle in Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-2022.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of lumpy skin disease (LSD) among cattle in India is concerning. District-level data on LSD cases in Uttar Pradesh between 2021 and 2022 were analyzed. A stepwise spatial analytical approach was followed by first constructing yearly and monthly disease maps for LSD incidence rates (IRs), then spatially interpolating the LSD IRs, followed by evaluating the global and local clustering of LSD IRs and finally conducting spatial regression modeling. Overall, 5784 LSD cases from 6 districts and 112,226 cases from 33 districts were detected in 2021 and 2022, respectively. In the incremental spatial autocorrelation analysis, the highest global clustering of LSD IRs for the 2022 outbreak was detected at 196.49 km. For the 2021 LSD outbreak, one district with high-low and nine district
