Recognizing the growing concern regarding the spread of LSD in Asia and the Pacific Region, the WOAH Regional Representation for Asia and the Pacific (RRAP) is organising a workshop on lumpy skin disease (LSD) for the Asia and Pacific Region in Manila, Philippines, this July 2025. This workshop convenes relevant stakeholders from participating WOAH Members in the Asia and the Pacific region for an in-person workshop focused on building capacity and strengthening regional collaborations in the prevention and control of LSD and other TADs.
