ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2101.140042 | Abstract: | Soil has been considered the natural reservoir for the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, which causes melioidosis. We examined 550 melioidosis cases that occurred during a 10-year period in the highly urbanized city of Singapore, where soil exposure is rare, and found that rainfall and humidity levels were associated with disease incidence. © 2015, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
