Fatal Melioidosis in Goats in Bangkok, Thailand

چکیده
Bangkok, Thailand, is a city considered to be at low risk for melioidosis. We describe 10 goats that died of melioidosis in Bangkok. Half of them were born and reared in the city. Multilocus sequence typing ruled out an outbreak. This finding challenges the assumption that melioidosis is rarely acquired in central Thailand.

The highest incidence was in goats (1.63/100,000/year), followed by incidence in pigs and cattle.
