Fungi in the respiratory tract of horses with recurrent airway obstruction

Abstract: This study aims to compare the concentration of viable fungi, especially those of the genus Aspergillus in the respiratory tract of stabled horses with and without Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO). Thirty two housed horses from four equestrian centers in Brazil were included in the study. These animals were submitted to clinical examination and to a respiratory sample collection. They were categorized into two groups: healthy and RAO-affected horses. Samples obtained by tracheobronchial washes were evaluated… Show more

“…Of these, 6.7% were in the healthy group and 90.9% in the group of animals with asthma. Similarly, fungal concentration in tracheal lavage samples in CFU/mL differed significantly between groups (P < 0.001), averaging 5 CFU/mL in healthy animals and 310 CFU/mL in animals with asthma (Xavier et al, 2014).…”
