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.

West Nile Virus Epidemics in North America Are Driven by Shifts in Mosquito Feeding Behavior
TL;DR: It is shown that Culex pipiens, the dominant enzootic and bridge vector of WNV in urbanized areas in the northeast and north-central United States, shifted its feeding preferences from birds to humans by 7-fold during late summer and early fall, coinciding with the dispersal of its preferred host (American robins, Turdus migratorius) and the rise in human WNV infections.
