Hi Jay,

Thanks for sharing. The presence of ST41 in the US is an interesting finding. It was a high proportion of clinical isolates we found in Central Vietnam.

Thanks for sharing.

A fascinating report. The persistence of this ST41 strain over decades is remarkable, and the link to extreme weather echoes what we've seen with the post-typhoon cases in Hong Kong.

It strongly suggests we may see melioidosis emerge in previously non-endemic areas as the climate changes.

Best,

Ivan
