Lumpy Skin Disease, a notifiable infectious disease, has been confirmed at two farms in Japan, with seven dairy farms and one dairy and beef farm in Fukuoka Prefecture, and one dairy farm in Kumamoto Prefecture affected. The disease, transmitted by blood-sucking insects, has a low mortality rate but requires vector control and quick isolation of affected cows. The disease does not affect humans and infected meat and milk will not be sold. Fukuoka Prefecture plans to vaccinate to prevent the spread, although beef from vaccinated cattle cannot be exported to the United States.
