title: [Pilot study of the occurrence of Prototheca in fecal samples of horses].
abstract: Fecal samples of 146 horses were culturally investigated for occurrence of Prototheca spp. using a selective medium, developed by PORE (1973). Prototheca zopfii could be isolated in monoculture from 9 fecal samples (6.2%). The results of this pilot study show that horses too can harbour and shed Prototheca spp. in variable frequency.
