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 ...

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.

Nucleotide sequence homology to pertussis toxin gene in Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
Multiple strains of Bordetella parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica were examined for the presence of nucleotide sequences which hybridized with a cloned 4.5-kilobase (kb) fragment of B. pertussis DNA containing the genes responsible for pertussis toxin expression. All six B.

Experimental pneumonia induced by a Bordetella parapertussis-like organism in the ovine and murine lung : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment (70%) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Veterinary Pathology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1987
Thirty-four specific pathogen-free (SPF) Swiss mice were intranasally inoculated with a suspension containing about 3 x 10 7 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml of a B. parapertussis-like organism isolated from pneumonic ovine lung.

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.

Do Pertussis Vaccines Protect Against Bordetella parapertussis? [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
We calculated the effectiveness of pertussis vaccine in preventing parapertussis among Oregon children 2 months to 10 years of age using 2 methods. During 2011-2016, the 2 VE methods found 66% (95% CI, 59-75%) and 82% (95% CI, 69-90%) effectiveness against parapertussis. Pertussis vaccine may induce cross-immunity.
