  abstract = {{B}urkholderia pseudomallei is the bacterium that causes melioidosis in humans. {W}hile {B}. pseudomallei is known to be endemic in {S}outh {E}ast {A}sia ({SEA}), the occurrence of the disease in other parts of the tropics points towards a potentially large global distribution. {W}e investigated the environmental factors that influence the presence (and absence) of {B}. pseudomallei in a tropical watershed in {SEA}. {O}ur main objective was to determine whether there is a link between the presence of the organism in the hydrographic network and the upstream soil and land-use type. {T}he presence of {B}. pseudomallei was determined using a specific quantitative real-time {PCR} assay following enrichment culture. {L}and use, soil, geomorphology, and environmental data were then analyzed using partial least squares discriminant analysis ({PLSDA}) to compare the {B}. pseudomallei positive and negative sites. {S}oil type in the surrounding catchment and turbidity had a strong positive influence on the presence (acrisols and luvisols) or absence (ferralsols) of {B}. pseudomallei. {G}iven the strong apparent links between soil characteristics, water turbidity, and the presence/absence of {B}. pseudomallei, actions to raise public awareness about factors increasing the risk of exposure should be undertaken in order to reduce the incidence of melioidosis in regions of endemicity.},
