Bacteriology
Infectious Diseases
Public Health

Background:

Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious bacterial respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis.
The disease poses significant risks, particularly to immunocompromised individuals and very young children.
Pertussis incidence exhibits seasonality and multi-year peaks, though patterns vary geographically.
