【 摘 要 】

There were two main aims in the work presented in this thesis. First, to carry out a detailed scanning electron microscopic (SEM), histological and, where appropriate, transmission electron microscopic (TEM) study of the surface features of the entire respiratory tract of normal horses. The second aim was to investigate the effects of respiratory disease (Streptococcus equi infection or Strangles and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) on equine respiratory tract surfaces.
