Bordetella parapertussis Circumvents Neutrophil Extracellular Bactericidal Mechanisms [PDF]

, 2019
B. parapertussis is a whooping cough etiological agent with the ability to evade the immune response induced by pertussis vaccines. We previously demonstrated that in the absence of opsonic antibodies 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

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

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.

B. parapertussis does not induce ROS in resting neutrophils.

, 2017
B. parapertussis (Bpp) or B. parapertussis Δwbm (BppΔwbm) were incubated with neutrophils (MOI: 100) and luminol at 37°C. Neutrophils incubated with medium alone and luminol served as a negative control.

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.

Antibody-mediated clearance of B. parapertussis upon a co-inoculation with B. bronchiseptica.

, 2013
(A) C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with B. parapertussis, given an adoptive transfer of naïve serum (NS) or immune serum (IS), and sacrificed 0, 3, 7, or 14 days later to quantify bacterial numbers in the lungs.

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).
