Melioidosis is one of the most neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), so much so that it is not even included in the WHO list of NTDs. Yet modeling suggests that it kills more people worldwide every year than diseases that are much better known, such as leptospirosis and dengue. The reasons for this under-recognition are numerous, including the fact that it mainly affects the disadvantaged rural poor in areas that are poorly supplied with the diagnostic capability to make the diagnosis. In 22 separate articles, expert authors from around the world have summarized what is known about the burden of the disease in humans and animals and the presence of the causative bacterium in the environment in their countries or regions. They have also identified the main obstacles and challenges to establishing the true burden, and to ensure that patients receive accurate diagnosis and optimal care for this all too frequently fatal disease. Rather than focusing on the theoretical risk of the use of Burkholderia pseudomallei as a biological weapon, this book highlights its importance as a clear and present danger to global public health. 610 $aSouth America 610 $aPapua New Guinea 610 $aCambodia 610 $aLaos 610 $aprevention 610 $aenvironmental 610 $aSeychelles 610 $aAfrica 610 $aIndia 610 $aLao PDR 610 $awestern Indian Ocean 610 $aanimal 610 $atreatment 610 $aHong Kong 610 $atransmission modes 610 $aMadagascar 610 $aThailand 610 $aMiddle East 610 $abacteriology 610 $aVietnam 610 $apublic awareness 610 $aBurkholderia 610 $aMLST 610 $aSri Lanka 610 $amelioidosis 610 $aveterinary 610 $aSouth Asia 610 $amortality 610 $aCaribbean 610 $aAustralia 610 $aCentral America 610 $aMyanmar 610 $aMalaysia 610 $aawareness 610 $aRéunion 610 $adiagnosis 610 $aMauritius 610 $aMelioidosis 610 $aclinical 610 $atropical medicine 610 $aB. pseudomallei 610 $aSingapore 610 $aOceania 610 $aepidemiology 610 $aChina 610 $agenomics 610 $aBurkholderia pseudomallei 610 $asurveillance 610 $aPhilippines 610 $aenvironment 610 $aBangladesh 610 $aMexico 610 $aIndonesia 700 $aDance$b David AB$4auth$01318717 702 $aLimmathurotsakul$b Direk$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346664003321 996 $aGlobal Burden and Challenges of Melioidosis$93033481 997 $aUNINA
