Epidemic typhus in a prison in Burundi
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997The International Committee of the Red Cross investigated an outbreak of fever of unknown origin in Ngozi prison, Burundi, which resulted in a crude mortality rate of 2.61% in January 1996. A definite diagnosis of epidemic typhus caused by Rickettsia prowazekii was established by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using specific antigens.

Epidemic typhus is transmitted to human beings by the body louse Pediculus humanus corporis. The disease is still considered a major threat by public-health authorities, despite the efficacy of antibiotics, because poor sanitary conditions are conducive to louse proliferation.

On the Specificity of Epidemic and Murine Typhus
Science, 1946The specificity of epidemic and murine typhus has been shown by active immunization of mice with killed rickettsial suspensions and subsequent challenge with heterologous and homologoustoxic substance. During the preparation of this manuscript, Fitzpatrick published findings showing that 3 of 8 mice immunized with murine typhus vaccine were ...

Typhus is an acute infectious disease caused by Rickettsia. Clinically, it can be divided into two categories, including epidemic typhus and endemic typhus. Epidemic typhus is also known as louse-borne typhus which commonly occurs in winters and springs and causes severe systemic symptoms. It is caused by Rickettsia prowazekii and transmitted via human

Epidemic typhus is caused by a small strictly intracellular virus named Rickettsia prowazekii, a member of the Rickettsial family. It is transmitted to man by the body louse, Pediculus humanus. Although now rare in Western countries, exanthematic typhus remains common in the Southern hemisphere due to poverty, inadequate clothing hygiene, and poor ...
