Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Pathogenesis, Epidemiology, and Clinical Manifestations of Respiratory Infections Due to Bordetella pertussis and Other Bordetella Subspecies
Seema Mattoo,Jonathan D. Cherry +1 more
TL;DR: DTaP vaccines, which are less reactogenic than DTP vaccines, are now in general use in many developed countries, and it is expected that the expansion of their use to adolescents and adults will have a significant impact on reducing pertussis and perhaps decrease the circulation of B. pertussedis.

TL;DR: Solid evidence is provided that among infants for whom a source case was identified, household members were responsible for 76%–83% of transmission of Bordetella pertussis to this high-risk group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pertussis: Microbiology, Disease, Treatment, and Prevention
TL;DR: Ongoing research using newer tools for molecular analysis holds promise for improved understanding of pertussis epidemiology, bacterial pathogenesis, bioinformatics, and immunology, which provide a foundation for the development of new-generation diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogen survival in the external environment and the evolution of virulence.
Bruno A. Walther,Paul W. Ewald +1 more
TL;DR: The correlation between virulence and durability explains three to four times of magnitude of difference in mean percent mortality and mean survival time, using both across‐species and phylogenetically controlled analyses.

Kathleen Winter,Kathleen Harriman,Jennifer Zipprich,Robert Schechter,John Talarico,James Watt,Gilberto Chavez +6 more
TL;DR: In 2010, California experienced the highest number of pertussis cases in >60 years, with >9000 cases, 809 hospitalizations, and 10 deaths; this report provides a descriptive epidemiologic analysis of this epidemic and describes public health mitigation strategies that were used, including expanded pertussi vaccine recommendations.
