Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a respiratory disease caused
primarily by infection with the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It
remains among the leading causes of death amongst
vaccine-preventable diseases worldwide and recent years have seen
its alarming re-emergence in many regions (including the U.S. and
much of Europe), despite sustained high levels of vaccine coverage.
The causes of the resurgence remain contentious, in part due to
inherent complexities of the pathogen's biology, in part due to
pronounced variation in the treatment and prevention strategies
between different countries and regions, and in part due to
long-standing disagreement amongst scientific researchers studying
pertussis. This edited volume brings together expert knowledge from
disparate fields with the overall aim of synthesizing the current
understanding of this critically important, global pathogen.
