Resumo: The aim of this research was to carry out an epidemiological study of Burkholderia mallei infection in equines from properties in Pernambuco and Alagoas States. For the epidemiological study, investigative questionnaires were applied to 6 outbreak properties (2017-2021) and 11 non-focus properties, and statistical analysis of the factors associated with Glanders's occurrence was performed. In the study, a significant association was observed for the following variables: purpose of breeding (trade, sport and work on farms) (p=0.023); lack of information about the forms of transmission of the bacteria (p=0.034); failure to perform periodic examinations for the diagnosis of Glanders (p=0.029); requirement of a negative test in the purchase of horses (p=0.06); use of the extensive rearing system (p=0.027) and, finally, the lower frequency of cleaning the stalls (p=001). The results obtained can help in the implementation of management measures that minimize the risk of transmission of the bacteria, reducing the cases of the disease in the region.
