Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis In 2018, there were more than 151 000 cases of pertussis globally Pertussis spreads easily from person to person mainly through droplets produced by coughing or sneezing The disease is most dangerous in infants, and is a significant cause of disease and death in
- Pertussis - World Health Organization (WHO)

- Laboratory manual for the diagnosis of whooping cough caused by . . .
Whooping cough is a worldwide infectious disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis It is a respiratory disease occurring after transmission of the bacteria from person- to-person in airborne droplets The bacteria are highly infectious and unprotected close contacts are liable to become infected Incidence is highest in children under five, except where

- Pertussis: Vaccine Preventable Diseases Surveillance Standards
Pertussis (whooping cough), caused by Bordetella pertussis, is endemic in all countries Globally, it is estimated that there were 24 1 million pertussis cases and 160 700 deaths from pertussis in children < 5 years of age in 2014, with periodic epidemics occurring every two to five years Pertussis is transmitted from infected to susceptible individuals by airborne droplets
- The immunological basis for immunization series: module 4: pertussis . . .
Bordetella pertussis is a strictly human pathogen with multiple biological activities The bacteria are transmitted by droplets and the infectious dose is small in immunologically naïve patients Pertussis infection begins with the attachment of B pertussis to the ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract; the subsequent manifestations are thought to be the result of the interplay between
