Typhus has been documented for centuries, with descriptions dating back to the 11th century. The disease is caused by bacteria of the Rickettsia genus and has been associated with crowded and unsanitary conditions, particularly during wars and famines. While typhus outbreaks have occurred throughout history, public health measures and improved living conditions have significantly reduced its prevalence in modern times. Today, typhus is still present in some regions, particularly in areas with limited access to sanitation and healthcare.
