A. Map of the states and regions of Myanmar with corresponding population density (person per square km). B. Map of Myanmar climate zones based on the Koppen Geiger climate classification (Source: http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/present.htm). Black dots represent B. pseudomallei-positive sites (at least one sample positive for B. pseudomallei) and white dots represent B. pseudomallei-negative sites).

Bar-plot showing percentage of sample positive for B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis in different categories of (a) Climate zone (b) Season (c) Soil depth (d) Soil type and (e) Land use. The numbers below each category represent the total number of samples collected in the corresponding category.
