Research into the little-known but deadly bacterial disease melioidosis has revealed that millions of people are at threat.
Also known as Whitmore's disease, the illness is caught from skin
contact, inhaling or by drinking contaminated water infected with the
bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei.
The particularly pathogenic bacterium is commonly found in soil and water in South and Southeast Asia and northern Australia.
