Abstract

We retrospectively estimated the incidence of cultureproven melioidosis in animals in Thailand during 2006-2010. The highest incidence was in goats (1.63/100,000/ year), followed by incidence in pigs and cattle. The estimated incidence of melioidosis in humans in a given region paralleled that of melioidosis in goats.
