Who confirms the disease
In India, only one official laboratory is allowed to confirm whether horses really have Glanders:

National Research Centre for Equines (NRCE), Hissar

Even if other labs test and say “maybe positive,” it is NOT confirmed until NRCE checks and declares.

Thanks to Dr. Reddy for summing up the Glanders testing protocol. I wonder why this fellow Ikram Khan with questionable journalistic ability be in such a hurry to post his articles on Indiarace website without getting the facts checked. Also, why is the Indiarace Admin team not fact checking the articles posted by its correspondents.

Thank you Dr. Reddy for a detailed explanation. 

Let's keep the fingers crossed and pray for the horses. Seasons will come and go. Health of the animal and people around it must be the priority. 

Glanders is a highly contagious, often fatal, and zoonotic bacterial disease in horses, caused by Burkholderia mallei. It primarily causes lesions and nodules in the respiratory tract and skin, but can also lead to a severe systemic illness in horses. While largely eradicated in many countries, it is considered a re-emerging disease in some parts of the world. 

Symptoms

    Acute: Fever, difficulty breathing, coughing, and thick, yellow-green nasal discharge. Small bumps or boils may be seen on the nasal mucous membrane, and the eyes may have a purulent discharge. 

    Chronic: Ulcerating growths on the skin and in the nose are common. This form is also called "farcy" and appears as hard, ropey nodules along the lymphatics, which can break open and discharge pus. 

    Weight loss: Affected horses typically lose weight dramatically. 

Transmission

    Ingestion: Through contaminated food or water.

    Aerosol: Through contact with contaminated aerosols.

    Direct contact: Through direct contact with infected animals or their discharges.

    Fomites: Equipment like grooming tools or harnesses that are contaminated with the bacteria.

    Insects: Flies may play a role in spreading the disease if they feed on oozing lesions. 

Diagnosis and control

    Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation combined with laboratory tests, such as serological assays, complement fixation tests, or culturing the bacteria. 

    Control and eradication depend on testing for the presence of the disease, screening all equines, and eliminating infected animals. 

Risk to humans

    Glanders is a zoonotic disease, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans. 

    Humans are accidental hosts, and the disease can cause a severe and often fatal illness if untreated. 

    Transmission to humans occurs from close contact with infected animals or their discharges. 

@ KS Rao 

Yes We all should spare few minutes to think about their problems 

Owners can chip in to create a substantial fund to provide minimum sustinence allowance to syces etc who get meagre salaries 

When Hyderabad  race club had positive on Glanders, all the clubs in India should not allowed jockey,trainer owner and horses inter racing other center but now it's very sad miss managemen, pray for animals to survive. Only God can save from all the crisis, hopes for best.

One from Mysore also 

Indian horse racing come to an end soon throughout India. If it so happens just imagine about the situation of people lives exclusive on it to earn for day to day bread to feed their families.
