What is Asymmetric Immunity in Bordetella Pathogens about?
The study investigates asymmetric interactions between Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis, revealing that prior infection with B. pertussis does not protect against B. parapertussis, while the reverse is true. This challenges existing mathematical models that assume symmetric cross-immunity and suggests that B. pertussis must have a significant competitive advantage to be more prevalent. The introduction of anti-pertussis vaccination is predicted to have minimal impact on the prevalence of B.
