The 1837 Typhus epidemic primarily started due to unsanitary living conditions and overcrowding in urban areas, particularly in England and Ireland. The disease, caused by the bacterium Rickettsia prowazekii, spread rapidly among impoverished populations facing famine, poor hygiene, and lack of medical care. Contributing factors included the Irish famine and the movement of people seeking better opportunities, which facilitated the transmission of the disease. The epidemic highlighted the urgent need for public health reforms to address the underlying social determinants of health.
