We report 4 cases of equine rhinosporidiosis in the United Kingdom. These cases provide evidence of spread of infectious agents from rhinosporidiosis-endemic areas to nonendemic areas by increased international movement of livestock. Surveillance should continue for this infective agent of potential relevance for numerous species, including humans.
我们报告了英国的4例马鼻孢子虫病病例。这些病例证明,随着牲畜国际流动增加,感染源从鼻孢子虫病流行地区传播到了非流行地区。对于这种可能与包括人类在内的众多物种相关的感染源,应继续进行监测。
