Exercise 1: Review main immune interactions for chosen pathogens
- Question 1: What are the main immune selective pressures on the pathogen?
- - One of the main driving forces for the evolution of B. pertussis is the immune pressure of vaccination (citation https://www.nature.com/articles/srep12888).
- - There is a chance that a fully vaccinated person, of any age, can catch this disease but the disease is mild (citation https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/about/causes-transmission.html)
