It’s got all the ingredients for a classic TPWKY episode: Deadly zoonotic bacterium (Burkholderia mallei). Tier 1 Select Agent role in war (greatest risk from a bioterrorism perspective). Historically caused devastating outbreaks resulting in mass casualty (of equids). And yet few people know what glanders is (unless you’ve recently watched The Americans tv show). This week, we’re aiming to lift glanders out of obscurity and bring it the attention it so deserves. What exactly is Burkholderia mallei and how does it cause the painful and lingering symptoms it’s known for? When did glanders first strike, and how did it play a role in the US Civil War? Why does it currently rank high up on the list of possible agents of bioterrorism? Tune in to find out all this and more!

Ep 226 Glanders: Straight from the horse’s mouth

Since his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet in 1887, Sherlock Holmes has captured hearts and imaginations around the world. Featured in countless tv shows, movies, books, plays, comic books, songs, and other media, Holmes has been firmly cemented as one of the most recognizable characters globally. But less well known is the man whose observational prowess inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create his famous detective in the first place: Scottish surgeon Dr. Joseph Bell. In Sleuth-Hound: The Case of the Real Sherlock Holmes, New York Times bestselling author and historian of medicine Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris brings long overdue recognition to the man behind the icon. Through her captivating storytelling, Fitzharris transports readers to 19th century Edinburgh, a revolutionary time for medicine and forensic science, and reveals how Dr. Joe Bell was at the center of it all. As pathologist at the Royal Infirmary, he impressed medical students by using his preternatural skills of observation to make a diagnosis, and as a frequent consultant of the Edinburgh police force, he applied those same skills to solve crimes. Tune in for a behind-the-Holmes peek into the man and world that gave rise to this famous detective.
