In the past, the disease in man has usually been contracted by direct or indirect contact with infected horses. During the past 30 years, however, due to constant testing of horses and eradication of infected animals, this disease entity has been rare in this country. The only case known by the writers to have occurred in the United States in recent years was described by Herold and Erikson1in 1938. The disease occurs more frequently in Russia, the Balkans, and parts...Bibliography1. HEROLDERIKSON AACG: Human glanders—case report, South. Med. Jr., 1938, 1022. Google Scholar2.
