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.
