-==Transmission==
-[[Image:Typhoid stats.gif|thumb|right|Death rates for Typhoid Fever in the U.S. 1906-1960]]
-Flying insects feeding on feces may occasionally transfer the bacteria through poor hygiene habits and public sanitation conditions. Public education campaigns encouraging people to wash their hands after toileting and before handling food are an important component in controlling spread of the disease. According to statistics from the United States [[Centers for Disease Control]], the [[chlorination]] of drinking water has led to dramatic decreases in the transmission of typhoid fever in the U.S..
-A person may become an [[asymptomatic carrier]] of typhoid fever, suffering no symptoms, but capable of infecting others. According to the [[Centers for Disease Control]] approximately 5% of people who contract typhoid continue to carry the disease after they recover.
-==[[Epidemiology]]==
-[[Image:Typhoid feverI.gif|thumb|right|Locations of typhoid outbreaks worldwide]]
-With an estimated 16-33 million cases of typhoid annually resulting in 500,000 to 600,000 deaths In endemic areas,  the [[World Health Organisation]] identifies typhoid as a serious public health problem. Its incidence is highest in children between the ages of 5 and 19 years.<ref name="who">{{cite web | title = Typhoid Fever | publisher = World Health Organisation | url = http://www.who.int/vaccine_research/diseases/diarrhoeal/en/index7.html | accessdate = [[2007-08-28]]}}</ref>
-In the United States about 400 cases occur each year, and 75% of these are acquired while traveling internationally. Typhoid fever is still common in the developing world, where it affects about 21.5 million persons each year. Typhoid fever is common in most parts of the world except in industrialized regions such as the United States, Canada, western Europe, Australia, and Japan. Therefore, if you are traveling to the developing world, you should consider taking precautions. Over the past 10 years, travelers from the United States to Asia, Africa, and Latin America have been especially at risk.
-==Heterozygous advantage==
-It is thought that [[cystic fibrosis]] may have risen to its present levels (1 in 1600 in UK) due to the [[heterozygous advantage]] that it confers against typhoid fever. The [[Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator|CFTR protein]] is present in both the lungs and the intestinal epithelium, and the mutant cystic fibrosis form of the CFTR protein prevents entry of the typhoid bacterium into the body through the intestinal epithelium.
