Abstract
One of the unique features of bacterial diseases such as pertussis is the possibility of multiple infections during a lifetime. Immunity gained after each infection may play an important role in disease transmission dynamics. A PDE model with two infections for pertussis was considered in Feng et al. (J Theor Biol 356:123–132, 2014) and applied to the Swedish population to estimate the age-dependent probability of infection on contact. However,...
