Thanks to @1goodtern who alerted about this topic in UK, this disease is back.

2) Back, not only in UK but also in Europe. 25 000 cases for the all year 2023, 32 000 just from January to March 2024 !!! Image
3) For the situation in Europe, we recommend the excellent report of ECDC
"Increase of pertussis cases in the EU/EEA"
ecdc.europa.eu/en/publicationโ€ฆ
Image
4) We have the same situation in US.
"Reemergence of Bordetella parapertussis, United States, 2019โ€“2023"
wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30โ€ฆ
Image
7) One of the main reason seems to be the decrease, or lack of vaccination, as this study showed it.
cambridge.org/core/journals/โ€ฆ
Image
8) Another study raised the question of waning immunity after the vaccination ...
cambridge.org/core/journals/โ€ฆ
Image
9) ... or even its actual effectiveness against some strains
researchgate.net/publication/34โ€ฆ
Image
10) But there is something strange in the ECDC report. The strongest progression concerns 10-14 year olds. It is difficult to speak of "immunity debt" (or even immunity gap), or even a drop in vaccinations in this age group.
There may be other hypotheses to explain this increase. Image
11) 1st hypothesis that we would like to propose without being able to develop it.
There is a protective heterologous T cell immunity in COVID-19 induced by the Tdap vaccine antigens.
sciencedirect.com/science/articlโ€ฆ
Image
12) However, the T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 and Tdap vaccine proteins are highly correlated. Does the weakening of T cells following a COVID-19 infection contribute in the opposite direction to a reduction in the defenses in children facing pertussis? Image
13) 2nd hypothesis. SARS-CoV-2 has bacteriophage behavior.
Does this have an impact on the bordella pertusis bacteria which is the cause of whooping cough?
Carlo Brogna @carlobrogna1 sent us a lot of studies on this subject today. We will come back to this topic very soon.
@carlobrogna1 14) Thanks for reading ๐Ÿ™
and see you soon

2) The study compared outcomes of different community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) episodes in 235 adult allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) recipients between 2013-2023. Image
3) A total of 353 CARV LRTD episodes were identified and classified as possible (n=199) or proven (n=154) LRTD based on virus detection.
The most common CARVs identified were rhinovirus/enterovirus (n=130), respiratory syncytial virus (n=63), parainfluenza virus (n=43)

2) Scarlet fever is caused by certain strains of S. pyogenes that produce a toxin called streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A.
The M1 strain that caused the recent upsurge is notable for having increased expression of the SpeA toxin due to mutations in the phage that produces it. Image
3) In this study, they showed that there was a marked increase in invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections in the UK and many other countries in late 2022 and 2023. This coincided with the end of COVID-19 mitigation measures. Image

Researchers in Texas recently discovered the H5N1 avian influenza virus in wastewater samples ... medrxiv.org/content/10.110โ€ฆ
Image
2) ...from nine major cities over a two month period in 2024. This was unexpected as the virus had not previously been found in over 1,300 wastewater tests.
By sequencing the entire virome found in wastewater, the team was able to identify genetic sequences ... Image
3) ...specifically matching the H5N1 virus.
The virus was present in 46 out of 163 samples tested from March to April. Further analysis showed the H5N1 sequences matched those found recently in birds and mammals, particularly a strain known as 2.3.4.4b. Image

2) BA.2.86 is a recently emerged sublineage of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron that has acquired many mutations, especially in the spike protein. This raised concerns about its potential for immune escape. Image
3) This study characterized BA.2.86 using panels of serum from vaccinated individuals and those with natural infections. It showed that BA.2.86 has marginally increased binding to the ACE2 receptor compared to XBB.1.5. Image

2) The authors argue that SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other RNA viruses like poliovirus exhibit bacteriophage behavior, meaning they infect and replicate within bacteria rather than directly infecting human cells. Image
3) They present evidence from electron microscopy, immunogold staining, immunofluorescence, and mass spectrometry analyses of bacterial cultures that show SARS-CoV-2 viral particles within and interacting with gut bacteria. Image
