Twenty five of the recent cases have been from Ngunguru, including a one-year old infant who was hospitalised.
Whooping cough (its medical name is pertussis) can be a very serious illness for babies and children, especially under one year of age, Northland Medical Officer of Health, Dr Virginia McLaughlin said.
Whooping cough cases have risen across New Zealand with 938 probable, confirmed and suspected cases in the country for the year to September 15.
Mumps recently gained international attention through members of the All Black squad getting it, Dr McLaughlin said.
The team's rookie centre, 22-year old Jack Goodhue, from Kawakawa, left a week late for the current Great Britain tour after picking up the illness in New Zealand.
Teammates Luke Romano, Ardie Savea and Rieko Ioane have since succumbed to the illness. The players were probably infectious before they felt sick.
