Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an infectious, fatal skin disease of cattle caused\nby a virus of the family Poxviridae (genus Capripox). In addition, severely affected\nanimals suffer from reduced weight, cessation of milk production and\ninfertility. The aim of this paper is to computationally apply epidemiological\n(SEIR) and optimal control (OC) techniques to study the transmission and\nthe impact of vaccination on LSD. Based on our numerical experiments, we\nwere able to deduce the overall impact of the optimal strategy adopted for this\nstudy on the cattle population for vaccination rates within the range of.........
