Invasive pulmonary mycosis caused by Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus stolonifer is reported in a 2-year-old horse, one of three that died after being housed in a disused, uncleaned stable. Lesions were characterized by thrombosis of the blood vessels with haemorrhage and tissue necrosis. Fungal hyphae were observed both in thrombosed vessels and in adjacent necrotic tissue. In culture media inoculated with lung samples and samples from the bedding hay, two types of colony were recorded and identified as A. niger and R. stolonifer. This study is the first description of equine pulmonary mucormycosis and of A. niger as an aetiological agent in the horse.
据报道，一匹2岁的马感染了由黑曲霉和匍枝根霉引起的侵袭性肺部真菌病，这匹马是被安置在一个废弃且未清理的马厩中的三匹马之一，最终死亡。病变特征为血管血栓形成伴出血和组织坏死。在血栓形成的血管和相邻的坏死组织中均观察到真菌菌丝。在接种了肺样本和垫草样本的培养基中，记录到两种菌落，并鉴定为黑曲霉和匍枝根霉。本研究首次描述了马的肺毛霉病以及黑曲霉作为马的病原体。
