2022, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :In this Personal View, we argue for the recognition and classification of melioidosis as an NTD. Continuing research efforts are helping to map the true distribution and burden of melioidosis, although these face many difficulties.4,12 Modelling studies have estimated that there were approximately 165 000 cases of melioidosis causing 89 000 deaths per year globally in 2015.4

2022, Informatics in Medicine UnlockedCitation Excerpt :B. pseudomallei, a Gram negative, rod shaped, motile, flagellated, facultatively intracellular pathogen that usually inhabits in soil and water of tropical countries [1,2]. It is the etiological agent of Melioidosis, a potentially fatal infections in humans and animals with a case fatality rates of 10–50% [3,4]. In 2016, a modelling-based study speculated that melioidosis is responsible for approximately 89,000 deaths among 1,65,000 cases in human globally.
