    Author: Brown GW, Dohany AL, Shirai A, Gan E, Huxsoll DL.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1977 Mar; 8(1):99-103. PubMed ID: 560722.
    Abstract:
    A high prevalence of murine typhus was found in the human and rodent populations of Senaling, West Malaysia. In addition to 2 index cases which prompted the investigation, 45% of the humans and 35% of the rodents had IFA titers of 1/50 or greater. Serological studies provided evidence of recent infections in 3 human subjects. In a control group of Malaysian soldiers IFA titers of 1/50 or greater were found in only 13 (5%) of 265 sera tested.
