By: C. Ludwig n, E. Barr n & B. Gilger n

author keywords: horse; corneal ulcer; face mask; hay; owner survey
TL;DR: Horses kept primarily at pasture have fewer ocular diseases, likely because they sustain less ocular trauma compared to horses kept in stables, and how hay is fed does not correlate with the incidence of corneal or other ocular disease. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Aspergillus; Fusarium; fungal keratitis; antifungal susceptibility; MIC; azole
TL;DR: It is concluded that traditional antifungal susceptibility testing with conidial suspensions does not correlate with fungal susceptibility in cultures of a more advanced developmental phase, and a revised method of antif fungus susceptibility testing that evaluates hyphal susceptibility may better predict fungal response in the clinical setting where treatment is often delayed until days after the initial insult.
