population affected
Typhoid fever was most indigenous in Britain and Wales between the 1830s and the 1860s, particularly among the poor, who were impoverished and had a clear lack of clean resources and sanitation. In 1879, an outbreak of typhoid occurred in Swansea and killed 100 people.
Typhoid was also apparent in New York, where the infamously known Mary Mallon was identified to be the first ever carrier of the disease.
Is it still around?
Extremely common in the Victorian era, typhoid is still habitual in developing countries with poor sanitation and lack of clean water. Approximately 400 cases occur in the US and 500 in the UK annually, with 70% of those obtained while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever affects about 12.5 million persons yearly.
Mode of transmission
Typhoid fevers are mainly transmitted via food or water. The bacteria are passed in the faeces and urine of infected people, which may contaminate food, water or beverages and cause infection in those who have consumed the contaminated items. Typhoid is a bacterial infection. It does not just affect one organ, but multiple organs of the body. Fun fact:
Prince Albert (the husband of Queen Victoria) contracted typhoid and died from it.
