[Demonstration of Pseudomonas pseudomallei (Whitmore's bacillus) in the mud of Iranian ricefields (author's transl)].
Whitmore bacillus had killed a horse and a mule in a herd bred for serum production in 1970 (Baharsefat and Amjadi). Out of 157 soil samples from rice fields in Northern Iran it was possible to isolate 19 times Pseudomonas pseudomallei (types I and II) possessing a very high pathogenicity for animals. Attempts at an evaluation of the human incidence of the disease.
