Enhancement ofBordetella parapertussisinfection byBordetella pertussisin mixed infection of the respiratory tract [PDF]
The epidemiological and pathogenic relationship between Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis, the two causes of whooping cough (pertussis), is unclear. We hypothesized that B. pertussis, due to its immunosuppressive activities, might enhance B.
