No innocent bystanders: pertussis vaccination and evolutionary parallelisms between Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella pertussis Pathogens adapting to the human host and to vaccination-induced immunity may follow parallel evolutionary paths. Bordetella parapertussis (Bpp) contributes significantly to the burden of whooping coug...
