What is the common vector for whooping cough? |
What is the common vector for whooping cough? I think it's mucous and droplets from the nose and mouth. But it's so uncommon (at least in the US) that I don't know anyone who has had it. Well, except me when I was 2. It is seasonal incidence. Sporadic and epidemic. Association with measles common. There is no vector. Spread by DROPLET INFECTION . The bacteria is Bordatella Pertussis |
