TL;DR
The disease and human cases in Mexico are described and it is argued why melioidosis represents an emerging public health problem in the region.
Melioidosis, caused by the gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei - a Tier 1 Select Biological agent - remains a significant cause of severe community-acquired infection in tropical regions, but with recent expanding recognition in temperate climates, including the United States. Pulmonary involvement is the...
It was found that the isolates tested grew similarly in culture but displayed major differences in biofilm formation, contributing to the growing knowledge of geographically distinct B. pseudomallei isolates and aid in ensuring that medical countermeasures in development are effective against a diverse collection of ba...
The presence of severe melioidosis in the Peruvian Amazon highlights the presence of Burkholderia pseudomallei and underscores the need to consider this pathogen in patients presenting with severe sepsis in tropical regions with high environmental exposure and metabolic risk factors.
The clinic approach to a rare case of dual human infestations by ecto- and endo-parasites with multiple liver abscesses presentation in a young truck driver residing in Northern Italy is reported and discussed.
The findings underscore the need for integrated, multidisciplinary interventions that combine vector control with advances in natural and nanotechnology-based therapies, aiming to optimize the management of this neglected zoonosis.
Detailed demographic, clinical, and travel-related patterns of imported disease, differences between Old World and New World CL, and implications for surveillance, clinical management, and future research in the context of climate change and global migration are described.
