Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a worldwide infectious disease of horses and other equids. The largeserological survey of EIA was performed in Jeju from 2005 through 2011. Using the conventional enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (cELISA), a total of 10,040 animals (1,329 Jeju Ponies, 8,324 Jeju Pony-Crossbreds and 387Thoroughbred horses) was tested at the Equine Hospital of Jeju Race Park or Jeju Stud Farm, Korea Racing Authority. This survey found no serological evidence of EIA presence in Jeju. There had been no horse and pony with antibodyagainst EIA since 1985 and no official report on outbreak the disease.
