From Bordetella pertussis

History (Draft)
Through looking at the different types of Bordetella, B. pertussis was found closely related to Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis. Developments in genome sequencing allowed B. pertussis to be studied more. Evidence of mutations through studying the gene showed missing genomes present on the DNA strand. A study by revealed that 25% of the genes on the Tohama I sequence were missing in comparison to the ancestor of B.pertussis.

Need to add from:


 * Mooi, F. R. (2010). Bordetella pertussis and vaccination: The persistence of a genetically monomorphic pathogen. Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 10(1), 36–49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2009.10.007
 * This journal also has information regarding the evolution of B. Pertussis. This was something that needed to be added. The source also has 149 citations, which indicates that it has good content.
