Inhaled endotoxin and organic dust particulates have synergistic proinflammatory effects in equine heaves (organic dust‐induced asthma)

Background Equine heaves is a naturally occurring organic dust‐induced asthma characterized by airway neutrophilia, mucus hypersecretion and obstructive lung dysfunction. However, the relative role of different dust components in disease severity remains unclear.
