A not so quick search of the WHO database showed that pseudomonas aeruginosa is actually endemic in Brazil, and the rodent population is the main carrier. With the great number of eco tours in the area, infected waters are more prevalent from fecal contamination (rodentia, human, and other mammals).

Ok, I'm a geek, shoot me.
