Abstract
This case describes a mare with fungal placentitis of a novel aetiology with megaallantoic and megaamniotic vesicles in a late gestation pregnancy and subsequent fetal death. Management of the case revealed decreased fetal movement apparently due to the vesicles' large size. Pathological investigation of the fetal membranes and fetus showed severe fungal placentitis by Curvularia and Bipolaris spp., both saprophytic fungi never previously described in literature as aetiologic agents of placentitis in mares. Full consequence of the vesicles' relation to the placentitis and involvement in fetal death have yet to be determined or completely understood.
期刊介绍：
Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).
Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
