TIZZANO, Marco Antonio et al. Equine rhinosporidiosis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2022, vol.54, n.1, pp.31-40. ISSN 0325-7541.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ram.2020.12.007.

Rhinosporidiosis is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a parasitic organism of the family Rhinosporideacea family, class Micomycetozoa. The disease is endemic in India; however, some cases were reported in Europe, Africa, North America, and South America. The aim of the present study is to report three cases of rhinosporidiosis in wild horses in different cities of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. We confirm the presence of R. seeberi in the analyzed samples using histopathological and PCR sequencing techniques.
