Description

The typhus louse shaking hands with Death. Colour lithograph by O. Grin, 1919 As a matter of fact, the artist obviously didn't know how typhus spread; that is a picture of the crab louse Pthirus, which is not a significant vector of typhus if at all. Furthermore, the Rickettsia generally kills the lice too, so that though the sentiment is good, the biology is bad.
