| Name | Glanders |
| Description | Glanders is an infectious disease of equines that can be transmitted to humans. It is usually an occupational disease, affecting individuals in contact with infected animals such as veterinarians, grooms, and farmers. The causative agent of glanders is Burkholderia mallei, a gram-negative aerobic bacterium. In equines and humans, B. mallei infection can present as either nasal-pulmonary infections (glanders) or cutaneous infections (farcy). |
