Horses ( Equus caballus)  are susceptible to tick-borne diseases. Two of them, Lyme borreliosis due to  Borrelia burgdorferi  and granulocytic anaplasmosis due to  Anaplasma phagocytophilum  were investigated in Algerian horses. The diseases have been less extensively studied in horses and results pertinent to Algeria have not been published. Material and Methods Blood samples were obtained from 128 horses. IgG antibodies directed against  Anaplasma phagocytophilum  and  Borrelia burgdorferi  were detected by an indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and ELISA. The potential effects of age, gender, breed, and health status on seropositivity were also evaluated. Results Using IFAT, 28 (21.8%) and 25 (19.5%) animals were positive for  B. burgdorferi  and  A. phagocytophilum , respectively. Using ELISA, 19 (14.8%) and 33 (25.9%) animals were positive for these bacteria. Conclusion The study shows that horses in Algeria are exposed or co-exposed to tick-transmitted zoonotic bacterial species.
