Figure 1

Environmental sampling sites in an investigation of 3 child deaths from melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei–contaminated borehole water, Vietnam, 2019. The satellite map was created using QGIS software version 3.22.1 (https://www.qgis.org). Red outline indicates the family property where the children lived; red circle is borehole A from which B. pseudomallei was isolated. Yellow outlines are rice fields from which soil samples were collected; red stars indicate rice fields that tested positive for B. pseudomallei. Yellow circles indicate neighbors’ boreholes and yellow squares indicate neighbors’ ponds from which water samples were collected. Inset map shows Vietnam; red square indicates sampling area.
