Global burden and challenges of melioidosis
- Abstract:
- Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by the environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, has remained in the shadows for far too long. Described over 100 years ago by Alfred Whitmore in Rangoon, the disease is so neglected that it is not even on any of the lists of neglected tropical diseases, despite the fact that it probably kills more people each year than diseases that are much better known, such as leptospirosis and dengue. We aim to set the record straight.
