No. Typhus is a group of diseases caused by the parasitic bacteria "Rickettsia", which can exist only within living cells. It is commonly spread by lice and fleas on rats. (In areas with limited hygenic facilities, Epidemic Typhus is spread by the human body louse.) Typhoid fever (also known as Enteric fever) is caused by "Salmonella" bacteria when they are spread through the body by the white blood cells that attempted to destroy them.
