The Bacterial Special Pathogens Branch at the CDC is offering a grant for conducting environmental sampling to identify locations suitable for collecting soil and water samples to study Burkholderia pseudomallei. This grant aims to collect a minimum of 500 soil samples and 100 water samples for culture and genotypic studies. The research will provide insights into the distribution of B. pseudomallei in the environment and identify high-risk areas for disease transmission. Researchers will work closely with the Zoonotic and Select Agent Laboratory at CDC to contribute valuable data in understanding and mitigating the risk of this pathogen. Deadline for application is Jul 11, 2016.

| Description: | Burkholderia pseudomallei is a soil- and water-borne pathogen for which favorable environmental factors such as pH, particle size, salinity, moisture content, and total nitrogen have been described. Soil characteristics, as well as results from ongoing serologic studies by the Zoonotic and Select Agent Laboratory within the Bacterial Special Pathogens Branch at CDC examining patients presenting with febrile illness for evidence of exposure to Burkholderia pseudomallei, will be used to guide identification of locations suitable for environmental sampling. A minimum of 500 soil samples and 100 water samples will be collected during the study period, with shipment of samples to the collecting institution or the CDC for culture and genotypic studies. Based on the results of these studies, a better understanding of the distribution of B. pseudomallei in the environment as well as identification of higher risk areas for disease is expected. |
