Typhus in 1944 refers to a serious infectious disease caused by Rickettsia bacteria, often spread by lice, fleas, or ticks. During World War II, outbreaks of typhus were common in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, particularly in concentration camps and among displaced populations. The disease led to high mortality rates due to malnutrition and lack of medical care. Efforts to control outbreaks included improved sanitation and the use of vaccines, which were developed during the war.
