A story I really enjoyed working on. Melioidosis is a massively under-diagnosed bacterial illness in India because of how different it looks in different people. It is also a bio-terrorism agent, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a bacterium very similar to B. mallei that causes Glanders. And B. Mallei is one of the few bacteria that has actually been deployed as a bio-terror agent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glanders
