    Abstract:
    Immunological surveys in African and Asian countries showed a different degree of herd immunity in the respective countries and the circulation of various types of B. pertussis. Antibodies against B. parapertussis, the second aertiological agent of whooping cough, were found in all countries in all age groups. Before planning any vaccination program, attention should be paid to the vaccine concerning the content of all types of B. pertussis, as was shown in the results of the testing of different vaccines used in Mongolia and Algeria. It is also possible to estimate the age limit for vaccination and thus economic use of the vaccine. The contemporary state of reporting whooping cough cases is very unsatisfactory.
