Abstract
An epidemic outbreak of typhus is described which proved to have been caused by the murine virus. Although ordinarily this type of infection is sporadic, it appears that under peculiar conditions where there is a heavy infestation of rats suffering from an epidemic, the intimate contact between man and rat may lead to an epidemic of murine typhus in man.
