In the 1900s, typhus, particularly epidemic typhus, caused significant public health crises, especially during wartime and in overcrowded conditions. It was transmitted by body lice and often occurred in refugee camps and military barracks, leading to high mortality rates. The disease was characterized by fever, rash, and severe systemic symptoms. Efforts to control typhus included improved sanitation, better living conditions, and the development of vaccines, which helped reduce its impact by the mid-20th century.
