This is the first report of Burkholderia mallei isolation in milk from a mare diagnosed with glanders and of transplacental transmission of the bacteria in a seropositive pregnant mare, both from São Paulo State, Brazil, 2016 and 2019. After necropsy, the horses were evaluated for macroscopic lesions, and organ samples were removed for histological, bacteriological, and molecular analysis.
