Impaired response of the bronchial epithelium to inflammation characterizes severe equine asthma [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Severe equine asthma is a naturally occurring lung inflammatory disease of mature animals characterized by neutrophilic inflammation, bronchoconstriction, mucus hypersecretion and airway remodeling. Exacerbations are triggered by inhalation of

Antimicrobial Prescription Behavior in Equine Asthma Cases: An International Survey. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Equine asthma is considered a non-infectious respiratory disease characterized by inflammation and hypersensitivity. Given the importance of antimicrobial stewardship, an international survey was designed to investigate the use of antimicrobials in asthmatic horses and the factors influencing prescription behavior.

Association between equine asthma and fungal elements in the tracheal wash: An environment-matched case-control study. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe presence of fungi in tracheal wash (TW) of horses was recently linked to mild-moderate equine asthma, indicating a possible causal role; however, increased numbers of fungi may also stem from asthma-related alteration of tracheal mucus clearance or ...
