Lumpy skin disease is a viral infection mainly spread by biting insects that affects cattle. It causes fever and painful skin lumps, weakens animals and reduces milk output. The disease does not infect humans. The disease, which is widespread in North Africa, was detected in several European countries last year. Authorities in France ordered infected cows culled, sparking protests from farm unions.  news (https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/09/10/regions-calling-in-russia-all-eyes-are-on-siberias-farmers) (Regions Calling: In Russia, All Eyes Are on Siberia’s Farmers) Regions Calling: In Russia, All Eyes Are on Siberia’s Farmers  Read more    The Moscow regional government's order banned the transport of cattle, cattle products, including milk, and feed to and from the quarantined area. It also banned agricultural fairs there.
