Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is becoming a global threat to cattle and related species. It requires annual vaccination to prevent further outbreaks. There is host variation in the response to infection both in field studies and under carefully controlled artificial infections. Here, we study the gene expression response in whole blood at four time points before and after experimental infection with LSD virus in five cows with divergent disease outcomes. Differentially expressed genes (FDR<0.05) were identified for comparisons between LSD symptomatic and asymptomatic animals at all time points as well as between time points for symptomatic animals. Gene set enrichment showed a role of oxidative phosphorylation as well as a range of disease pathways. While preliminary, these results are the first ever study of host transcriptomes related to LSD.
