Glanders, a bacterial disease caused by Burkholderia mallei, is endemic in Turkey. An epidemiological study confirmed its presence in horses on Turkish islands, with 3.1% testing positive.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Bacteriology

Background:

  • Glanders is a serious zoonotic disease affecting equids.
  • Equine glanders poses a significant threat to animal health and potentially public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of glanders in horses on Turkish islands in the Sea of Marmara.
  • To confirm the causative agent and characterize the clinical presentation of glanders in the studied population.

Main Methods:

  • Epidemiological survey involving 1128 horses.
  • Intracutaneous mallein testing for initial screening.
  • Post-mortem examination and immunohistology for confirmation.

Main Results:

  • 3.1% of horses (35/1128) showed positive reactions to mallein testing.
  • Glanders (Burkholderia mallei) was confirmed in 5 out of 10 examined horses.
  • Infections were localized to the nasal cavity, nostrils, and upper lips.

    • Conclusions:

    • Equine glanders is confirmed as an endemic disease in Turkey.
    • The study highlights the importance of continued surveillance and control measures for glanders in the region.
