Typical pathogenic bacteria of the genus Bordetella cause respiratory diseases, many of which are characterized by severe coughing in host animals. In human infections with these bacteria, such as whooping cough, coughing imposes a heavy burden on patients. The pathophysiology of this severe coughing had long been uncharacterized because convenient animal models that reproduce Bordetella-induced cough have not been available. However, rat and mouse models were recently shown as useful for understanding, at least partially, the causative factors and the mechanism of Bordetella-induced cough. Many types of coughs are induced under various physiological conditions, and the neurophysiological pathways of coughing are considered to vary among animal species, including humans. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms of the coughs in different animal species have not been entirely understood, and, accordingly, the current understanding of Bordetella-induced cough is still incomplete. Nevertheless, recent research findings may open the way for the development of prophylaxis and therapeutic measures against Bordetella-induced cough.
