Comparison of the Genome Sequence of the Poultry PathogenBordetella aviumwith Those ofB. bronchiseptica,B. pertussis, andB. parapertussisReveals Extensive Diversity in Surface Structures Associated with Host Interaction [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2006
ABSTRACTBordetella aviumis a pathogen of poultry and is phylogenetically distinct fromBordetella bronchiseptica,Bordetella pertussis, andBordetella parapertussis, which are other species in theBordetellagenus that infect mammals. In order to understand the evolutionary relatedness ofBordetellaspecies and further the understanding of pathogenesis, we ...

Incidence of RSV‐ and Influenza‐Associated Hospitalizations With Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Other Acute Respiratory Infection Among Adults in Japan in 2022–2024: APSG‐J2 Study

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Quantifying the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults is challenging compared to influenza, and data among older adults remain scarce in Japan. Country‐specific evidence is essential to support RSV vaccination policy.

Torque Teno Virus Levels During Viral Respiratory Infections: The Interplay With Immune Dysregulation and Coagulopathy Biomarkers

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Torque teno virus (TTV) is a ubiquitous, nonenveloped DNA virus of the Anelloviridae family and a proposed surrogate marker of immune competence. Although nonpathogenic, its replication reflects host immune status and is associated with immune dysregulation during respiratory viral infections (RVIs).

Structural and functional specialization of Bordetella pertussis DsbA for pertussis toxin folding

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Disulphide bonds (Dsbs) are essential for the folding, stability, and function of many secreted and membrane‐associated proteins in bacteria. In Gram‐negative species, these bonds are introduced by the Dsb enzyme family, with DsbA acting as the primary thiol oxidase.

Causes and Seasonality of Upper Respiratory Infections in Adults in Lesotho (2021–2022) (CORIAL)

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Upper respiratory tract infections cause morbidity and a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide, especially in low‐ and lower middle‐income countries. Recent studies throughout Africa indicate seasonal patterns that deviate from those previously described in settings with temperate climates.

O antigen allows B. parapertussis to evade B. pertussis vaccine-induced immunity by blocking binding and functions of cross-reactive antibodies [PDF]

, 2014
Although the prevalence of Bordetella parapertussis varies dramatically among studies in different populations with different vaccination regimens, there is broad agreement that whooping cough vaccines, composed only of B.

BPZE1-induced immunity cross-protects against Bordetella parapertussis.

, 2013
BALB/c mice were intranasally infected with 1×106 CFU of B. pertussis BPZE1 (BPZE1) or B. parapertussis (Bpp) or left untreated (Naïve). The mice were then challenged 8 weeks later with 1×106 CFU B. parapertussis and sacrificed 7 days after challenge for
