Plain-English summary
This study looked at three horses in Costa Rica that had a fungal infection known as equine phycomycosis. Two of the horses had skin lesions caused by a type of fungus called Pythium, while one horse had a nasal lesion caused by another type of fungus called Conidiobolus. The findings help to understand how these infections can affect horses.
