Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolates in 2 Pet Iguanas, California, USA - Volume 20, Number 2—February 2014 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC
Abstract
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, was isolated from abscesses of 2 pet green iguanas in California, USA. The international trade in iguanas may contribute to importation of this pathogen into countries where it is not endemic and put persons exposed to these animals at risk for infection.
