Eight hundred (800) local and different horse breeds aged from (1.8–25) years old and from both sexes was examine during the period started from a15.oct. 2020 to 20 April 2021.  The 184 serum samples were drained from suspected horses to examined by using double antigen multispecies Eliza of Burkholderia mallei. Results show that only 4 (2.17%) horses give a positive result with the Elisa test in Maysan governorate. Whereas negative horses for glanders included 180 (97.82%) in the south of Iraq, and that Basrah and Thi-Qar governorates were negatively against glanders.
