结节性皮肤病（LSD）是一种新出现的病毒性疾病，2015年在希腊的巴尔干半岛的半岛首次发现。2016年4月，该疾病在希腊再次发生，并首次蔓延到保加利亚，前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国，塞尔维亚，科索沃，阿尔巴尼亚和黑山。各国的兽医部门采取了不同的战略来控制这种疾病，主要是基于大规模疫苗接种运动和各种消灭方法。2017年期间，除阿尔巴尼亚、希腊和前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国报告的疫情外，疫情基本得到控制。这项研究的目的是量化三个选定的巴尔干半岛的国家，即阿尔巴尼亚、保加利亚和前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国的疾病和控制措施的成本，这三个国家受疾病的影响不同，动物生产结构不同，实施的控制战略也不同。这三个国家的总成本为2090万欧元（2090万欧元），主要发生在2016年（1660万欧元），当时疾病正在整个巴尔干半岛的地区蔓延。2017年（截至10月的数据），费用为400万欧元，主要是疫苗接种费用。保加利亚是总成本最高的国家，为860万欧元，其次是前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国（670万欧元）和阿尔巴尼亚（530万欧元）。根据我们的数据，2016年阿尔巴尼亚、保加利亚和前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国每头受影响牛群的平均成本分别为869欧元、6，994欧元和3，071欧元。受影响牛群的每头动物成本分别为539、147和258欧元。这项研究的结果有助于了解该地区LSD爆发的成本，这可能有助于改善该疾病的监测和控制。
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an emerging viral disease that was detected for the first time in the Balkan Peninsula in Greece in 2015. In April 2016, there was a reoccurrence in Greece and the spread of the disease for the first time into Bulgaria, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro. The veterinary services of the countries responded with different strategies to control the disease, mostly based on mass vaccination campaigns and diverse stamping out approaches. During 2017, the epidemic was mostly controlled except for outbreaks reported in Albania, Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The study aims to quantify the cost of disease and control measures in three selected Balkan countries, that is, Albania, Bulgaria and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which were differently affected by the disease, had different animal production structures and implemented different control strategies. The total cost for the three countries was 20.9 million Euro (EUR 20.9 m), mostly incurred in 2016 (EUR 16.6 m), when the disease was spreading throughout the Balkan region. In 2017 (data until October), the cost was EUR 4.0 m, mainly due to vaccination costs. Bulgaria was the country with the highest total cost at EUR 8.6 m, followed by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (EUR 6.7 m) and Albania (EUR 5.3 m). According to our data, the average cost per affected herd in 2016 was EUR 869, EUR 6,994 and EUR 3,071 in Albania, Bulgaria and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, respectively. The cost per animal in the affected herds was EUR 539, 147 and 258, respectively. The results from this study are useful to understand the cost of LSD outbreaks in the region, which might contribute to improve the surveillance and control of the disease.
