    Abstract:
    Epizootic equine lymphangitis (EEL) is a chronic fungal disease that affects equids. The causative agent is a dimorphic fungus called Histoplasma capsulatum var farciminosum. Histoplasmacapsulatum var farciminosum field strain 7 (D 2878/2023) isolated from the eye socket of an EEL Ethiopian horse was sub-cultured on four different solid media and incubated at 26°C and 37°C for 6 weeks. Details of growth morphology were recorded and shown in images during 6 weeks of incubation. Histoplasmacapsulatum var farciminosum grew best at 26°C on all four agars, but only on sheep blood agar at 37°C as small, white dry colonies. Histoplasma capsulatum var farciminosum was isolated from the eye socket of an equine epizootic lymphangitis infected Ethiopian horse on Mycosel agar, which was sub-cultured on four different solid media at two different temperatures for 6 weeks to show its growth pattern.
