Description

Jiaqi Li and co-authors build a gene-deleted strain of lumpy skin disease virus in a 2025 study. The cattle disease is reportable worldwide and costs the industry heavily. Live vaccines exist, but safer gene-deleted versions are still wanted.

The team removed one gene of unclear function and tagged the virus with a glow marker. Lab checks confirmed a pure strain free of the wild virus. The strain stayed genetically stable, with best harvest at three days in kidney cells. Infected cells showed stronger immune and inflammatory responses than wild virus caused. The authors offer the strain as a vaccine candidate and a base for control research.
