<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> 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 cough (pertussis), shares vaccine antigens with Bordetella pertussis (Bp), and both pathogens are phylogenetically related and ecological competitors. Bp vaccine antigen-coding genes have accumula...
