    Solution

    It is spreading across countries but recently five districts of Delhi have been affected. 

    The lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a capripox virus, closely related to, but phylogenetically distinct from the viral causes of sheep and goat pox. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted by close contact with infected or asymptomatic carrier animals, contaminated feed and water, or by many blood-feeding arthropod vectors.
