The symptoms appear then days after the victems has been infected, they include high fever, pain in the muscles and joints, stiffness, headache, and cerebral disturbance. About the fifth day of the disease, a dark-red rash of elevated spots breaks out on the trunk and shoulders and then spreads to the rest of the body.
Endemic typhus is carried by fleas.
There was no vaccine for endemic typhus in the great war.
The causative bacteria is called Rickettsia typhi.

There is no widely used vaccine specifically for typhus disease, as the disease is often controlled through public health measures such as improving sanitation and hygiene. However, a vaccine for epidemic typhus caused by Rickettsia prowazekii is available but is rarely used outside of outbreak situations. For murine (endemic) typhus, no vaccine exists, and prevention relies mainly on controlling the rat and flea populations that transmit the disease.
Typhus (Greek: stupor caused by fever) is an acute infectious fever. It is caused by an obligate parasite Rickettsiabacterium. There are several forms of typhus, each with its own set of symptoms. To prevent typhus there is a vaccine available, and contact with fleas and lice should be avoided in countries known to have typhus. Treatment is with antibiotics including Tetracycline, Doxycycline or Azithromycin.Please note: typhus is not the same as typhoid fever which is caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi.
When a flea lands on a human, it may defecate as it feeds. When the person scratches the itchy spot where the flea was feeding, the bacteria-laden feces are scratched into the skin, thus causing infection.
It will be endemic to Orissa.
Anne Frank died in a concentration camp, most likely from typhus, a disease that was rampant in the camp due to poor sanitation and overcrowding. Symptoms of typhus include fever, headache, rash, and muscle pain. Unfortunately, as a result of extreme hardships and poor conditions in the camp, Anne Frank succumbed to the disease.
