“R. typhi transmission cycle.” R. typhi can be transmitted via different vectors depending on the geographic location. The R. typhi-infected rat fleas are involved in the transmission via rats. Infected cat fleas have been found in opossums and cats. Both of the vectors play a role in the transmission to humans. Infection reaches the human via infected flea feces inoculated in mucosa or wounds.
