The oriental rat flea, "Xenopsylla cheopis", found on commensal rats in many parts of the world, is the most important vector of bubonic plague and murine typhus.

Plague exists in a sylvatic form in widespread parts of the world, and many of the 2,000 species of fleas are vectors of this disease.

1854, Medical Notes on the Wreck of the San Francisco, by William P. Buel
There is to all diseases a period of incubation; distinct and definite in the exanthematae, less so, but still well marked, in fevers and other diseases. This period of incubation sufficiently defines the period of the development of disease in emigrant vessels. I have been led into these remarks by the fact that, when the cholera manifested its existence on board the San Francisco, that vessel had been about seven days out of port, between five and six of them subsequent to the wreck. Thus, the incubation period corresponds almost exactly with that of the emigrant ships.

If the tumour be compressed in some, the parts in immediate contact become tense and swollen. For this reason it is the worst kind of disease. It generally commences by what the Greeks call Cacoethes, or malignant tumour, then proceeds to Carcinoma, or scirrhus, without ulceration: afterwards to ulcer: then to a thymium. None of these can be removed except the Cacoethes: the rest are aggravated by every method of treatment; and the more energetic the remedies, the more irritable they become. […] [N]o one can distinguish a cacoethes, which is curable, from a carcinoma, which is incurable, except by time and experiment.

The workaholic generated 137 infections among patients, doctors, and nurses.
