The article notes that almost two-thirds of Nepal's total population are involved in agriculture, and around 28 million people live in areas with environmental suitability for B. pseudomallei. This suggests that the indigenous rural farming populations in Nepal are at a particularly high risk of contracting melioidosis, especially during the rainy season.
The implementation of simple, low-cost measures outlined in the paper can help address the underdiagnosis of melioidosis in Nepal's indigenous, rural farming populations.
