Interesting.
question is which type of Typhus?

Well, the source of the article says typhoid fever:
http://www.elsevier-international.com/journals/suppfile/flat/ijid_athens.pdf

Thanks for the link, Philip,

then again which type of typhoid fever. In other words:
Typhoid fever of Parathoid fever? More specialy: Typhoid caused by
bacterium Salmonella typhi, salmonella often spread by
waterpollution or bad hand-hygiene;
or by Salmonella paratyphi; Salmonella enteriditis or Salmonella
typhimurium ?
From the article that's not quite sure and my own question about
typhus wasn't related to salmonella typhi from waterpollution or
bad handhygiene. It was caused by the unrelated typhus, in my
question the deasese was supposed to come from squirrel contacts.

Not squirrels. but _flying_ squirrels.
In a sci group you must be preciese.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhus

Didn't you read the article? The conclusion drawn by the authors is
quite clear: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. There is no mention
of squirrels.

I read the article - but I don't believe prd read my origin post
thinking of the differences between Typhus and Salmonella
Typhus/typhus fever.

Why blame Philip? I don't think that you thought
of the possibility that the European plaques were
something other than Typhus caused by Rickettsia.

Nor is it from the 'Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhi clear where the origin bacteria developed before the state
which caused the possible outbreak of the disease.

You simply have no idea what you are talking about.
