Revisiting Whooping Cough: Global Drivers and Implications of Pertussis Resurgence in the Acellular Vaccine Era [PDF]
Background: Whooping cough caused by Bordetella pertussis is re-emerging despite high vaccination coverage, with rising incidence in adolescents and adults in the acellular vaccine (aP) era.

Exploring the cause of the pertussis resurgence in England following the COVID-19 pandemic: a mathematical modelling study [PDF]
Background In 2024 England, in common with many other countries, experienced a pertussis resurgence the cause of which is unclear. We used a pertussis transmission model, previously developed to investigate the cause of the pertussis resurgence in ...

Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Over the past years, the incidence and mortality of pertussis increased significantly. A possible cause is the switch from whole-cell to acellular pertussis vaccines,

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles and vaccine applications [PDF]
Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of “self ...

An infant who suffered seizures many times after pentavalent vaccination: A case report
Although rare, serious adverse effects may be seen after vaccination. Especially, the whole-cell pertussis vaccine has been held responsible for neurological side effects, as the most important problem in vaccination.

Pertactin-Deficient Bordetella pertussis, Vaccine-Driven Evolution, and Reemergence of Pertussis
Recent reemergence of pertussis (whooping cough) in highly vaccinated populations and rapid expansion of Bordetella pertussis strains lacking pertactin (PRN), a common acellular vaccine antigen, have raised the specter of vaccine-driven evolution and ...
