Plain-English summary
An 11-year-old horse was diagnosed with a fungal infection in its guttural pouch, which is a part of its throat. The specific fungus found was called Emericella nidulans. It seems that living in poor hygiene conditions without proper ventilation for three years may have contributed to this problem. The treatment details are not provided, but the situation highlights the importance of good living conditions for horses to help prevent such infections.
