The first wave of typhus was in 1940, the second in 1941 (110,000-110,000 cases, 20% mortality rate).

92% of cases of typhus were among Jews in Warsaw.

Tuberculosid claimed even more lives in the Warsaw ghetto than typhus.

According to my research small pox nemonic measles chicken pox and many more.

Yes. The rats is born with Typhus. And if a rat bit you, then you will have Typhus. It is a disease that can kill you.

Yes she did. She died because she suffered from shock and a disease called Typhus. A few days later, her sister Anne Frank died, also because of Typhus. Hope this helped. =D

Many of the cases took place in the World Wars. For example, 3 million people in Russia died of typhus during World War I. Also, in World War II, epidemics were found in Japan, Korea, Northern Africa, and Yugoslavia. Typhus was also common in Nazi concentration camps.

Mary Mallon (1870?-1938), known as Typhoid Mary, was an itinerant domestic servant and cook, probably an Irish immigrant, though possibly American-born (her origin and early life are un-known). She probably had typhoid fever in 1899 and made an apparently complete recovery. However, she was a symptomless carrier of typhoid bacilli, presumably from a nidus of infection in her gallbladder, for many years-perhaps for the rest of her life. Between 1900 and 1907, Mallon is known to have infected twenty-two people in New York City, passing the typhoid bacillus to them in cakes she had baked. One of these persons died. The nascent clinical science of bacteriological epidemiology enabled public health authorities to trace her and eventually to apprehend her. She was held in quarantine on North Brother Island, off the Bronx coast, for three years, then released after solemnly promising never to work as a cook again. But she soon broke her promise, and returned to the only occupation at which she could survive, becoming a cook in Sloan Maternity Hospital, where she infected twenty-five more people, two of whom died. Mallon was incarcerated again in quarantine, where she remained until her death in 1938. She was apparently a likable and pleasant woman-she was said to be "good with children"-and she was an excellent cook. Her life story has been the topic of several books and a movie. On immagrents. Native American's were killed easily because of common European ailments.
