The health office in Thepha District of the southern province of Songkhla launched a campaign today (Tuesday) to raise awareness of the threat posed by melioidosis (Whitmore’s disease) and how to prevent infection.

 

Melioidosis is a disease that can infect humans or animals. It is caused by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei, or B. pseudomallei, which is found in contaminated soil and water.

 

According to the Thepha District health office, seven infections have been recorded since April this year and five people have died. All the infections were found in six sub-districts.
