Rapidly Progressing Melioidosis Outbreak in City Center Zoo, Hong Kong, 2024.
In October 2024, twelve primates from 4 species died of sepsis at the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Postmortem examinations and microbiological analyses confirmed Burkholderia pseudomallei infection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a clonal sequence type 46 strain with minimal variation, signifying a single source. This outbreak highlights melioidosis risk in zoo settings.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
