Burkholderia pseudomallei infection in humans is called melioidosis or Whitmore's disease. It is spread though direct contact with water or soil that holds the bacteria. There have been few cases of transmission of the bacteria perinatally. [40] Its mortality is 20 to 50% even with treatment. [28]
Burkholderia pseudomallei: various animals direct contact with contaminated soil and surface water Microsporidiosis: Encephalitozoon cuniculi: rabbits, dogs, mice, and other mammals: ingestion of spores Middle East respiratory syndrome: MERS coronavirus: bats, camels close contact 2012–present: Saudi Arabia. Mpox: Monkeypox virus: rodents ...
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei. [1] Most people exposed to B. pseudomallei experience no symptoms; however, those who do experience symptoms have signs and symptoms that range from mild, such as fever and skin changes, to severe with pneumonia, abscesses, and septic shock that could cause death.

Burkholderia thailandensis is sometimes used to model B. pseudomallei infection in mice because of similarities in the immune response. [9] [10] [11] B. thailandensis does not require biosafety category 3 facilities and is not considered a biosecurity threat, which makes it easier to study and to work with. [12]
For those study participants, 56% had developed sensitivities to cockroaches and 59% to mice; 36% were sensitized to dogs, 39% to cats and 35% to dust mites. About 69% had sensitivities to more ...
Burkholderia is a genus of Pseudomonadota whose pathogenic members include the Burkholderia cepacia complex, which attacks humans and Burkholderia mallei, responsible for glanders, a disease that occurs mostly in horses and related animals; Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis; and Burkholderia cepacia, an important pathogen of pulmonary infections in people with cystic ...
Burkholderia mallei is a Gram-negative, bipolar [clarification needed], aerobic bacterium, a human and animal pathogen of genus Burkholderia causing glanders; the Latin name of this disease (malleus) gave its name to the species causing it. It is closely related to B. pseudomallei, and by multilocus sequence typing it is a subspecies of B ...
Burkholderia pseudomallei: United States Highly toxic Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria escaped from a BSL-3 laboratory at the Tulane National Primate Research Center near New Orleans, likely on employees' clothes, infecting two monkeys that lived in outdoor cages and later infecting others.
