Abstrakt: •Stomoxys calcitrans(stable fly) is a potential mechanical vector for the lumpy skin disease virus.•Lumpy skin disease virus could be isolated from regurgitated blood and faeces of stable flies exposed to virus-spiked blood.•Lumpy skin disease virus could survive in the stable flies’ abdomens up to two days without losing its infectivity.•Stomoxys calcitranswas present in cattle farms also at higher altitudes (2128 m asl) in Switzerland.
