  1. endemic typhus

    Endemic typhus, also known as murine typhus, is a bacterial disease caused by Rickettsia typhi. This infection can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected fleas, often associated with rodents. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, typically including fever, headache, chills, and body aches. Without treatment, the disease can be life-threatening, but it’s generally treatable with specific antibiotics. It is called "endemic" because it's normally found within a certain area or amongst a specific population.
