Melioidosis: Milestones of the Scientific Studies
https://doi.org/10.21055/0370-1069-2014-3-61-64
Abstract
Anniversary of melioidosis agent discovery. Discussed are the key advances of world science in the sphere of Burkholderia pseudomallei ecology, epidemiology, clinical picture, and treatment of the disease. Apart from this, summarized are the data on the 50-years long study of melioidosis, carried out by the specialists of Plague Control Agency of the Russian Federation.
