Airborne Transmission of Melioidosis to Humans from Environmental Aerosols Contaminated with B. pseudomallei.
Melioidosis results from an infection with the soil-borne pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, and cases of melioidosis usually cluster after rains or a typhoon. In an endemic area of Taiwan, B. pseudomallei is primarily geographically distributed in cropped fields in the northwest of this area, wher...
