Murine Typhus: An Important Consideration for the Nonspecific Febrile Illness
Murine typhus is a widely distributed flea‐borne infection caused by Rickettsia typhi. Symptoms of murine typhus are nonspecific and mimic a variety of other infectious diseases. We herein report a case of murine typhus in an area where the broad use of DDT in the mid‐20th century has now made it a rare disease.

New technology is changing how we monitor and control the evolution of pathogens. AI cannot predict the future but it can help us by looking at how laboratory accidents cause pathogen outbreaks. We also discuss potential epidemic origins based on unusual organisms or associations of organisms that have rarely been highlighted or studied.
