ordered the commandant there to house another 50,000 inmates from the Eastern front even after the camp was over filled to 7,000 to 10,000 inmates--bringing the total to between 57,000 to 60,000 inmates. Barton states that the daily death toll initially was 500, but this number reduced to 60 per day when food intake of appropriate formula was finally achieved after under a week's time of juggling the elements of the mixture of powdered milk and brown cane sugar. Initially, glucose alone or other items alone caused the patients to die quickly due to vomiting & aspiration or GI tract rupture troubles.

As it can be seen, the information is contradictory. Hence I thought that the "citecheck" template was called for to investigate other possible contradictions and unverified content in the article. If someone agrees with this assessment please put the template back. 408: 354: 1260: 517: 107: 272: 238: 282: 21: 615:
The following is in the WW1 section yet clearly can only refer to WW2 (see DDT article if in doubt): "Even larger epidemics in the post-war chaos of Europe were only averted by the widespread use of the newly discovered DDT to kill the lice on millions of refugees and displaced persons."

The reason I added the template is because there was conflicting info in the article. In the lede, it says, "Typhus... is a group of infectious diseases that include epidemic typhus, scrub typhus and murine typhus" and the statement is backed with a citation from the CDC. But later in the article,

After the liberation forces had been at Belsen for two or more weeks time, Barton was asked "why British troops hadn't taken any sanitary actions to clear the dead bodies?" Barton seems to answer that he didn't know why they had not taken any sanitary precautions with the dead, however, newsreel

There was food shortages as it was, but supposedly certain gangs of prisoners behaved like warlords where they would grab all of the food, eat their fill, then afterward let the remaining prisoners eat the left-overs. A weaker, sick prisoner would quickly become weaker in this sad situation. The

The food shortages were caused by an on-going, targeted allied campaign to bomb trains, and truck convoys carrying food in order to weaken enemy resolve. Churchill prolonged the targeted food campaign to such an extent that it even caused substantial numbers of civilians to die of starvation in

He states that about 56% of people with the disease died of it, and that younger persons had a better chance of survival because their blood vessel and capillary walls were more elastic than those of older patients. He states that the camp was meant to hold 3,000 people, but German high command

Supposedly, the naked, emaciated bodies resulted from clothed dead bodies being ejected from the barracks. Prisoners would then steal clothing that was in short supply from the dead. The diseased and dead person's clothing was contaminated with lice, eggs, and feces--contributing to additional

In my opinion it is utterly hard for the reader to distinguish the different names of typhus-related diseases. There has been misconceptions of disease names in the past, and new organisms/vectors in this group have recently been found to impact peoples health substantially. I suggest someone

Repeatedly the article says there is no commercially-available vaccine, but later it says a vaccine was developed in WW2. Is there a vaccine, or not? If so, is it not commercially-available? The article is confusing as it is; someone should clear this up.
1231:@Septagram reverted my deletion of a statement about the Black Assize with no edit comment. My deletion was based on reading the cited source; the source says that the outbreak was thought to be caused by plague, cholera, smallpox or typhoid. 977:
There (still? again?) is a referral to an existing vaccine at the very end of the article ("has been developed in WWII"). Maybe someone would like to include a short paragraph on vaccines, past/existing and present/non-existent to clarify?

axis guards of the camp did not have DDT (like the American and British) to fumigate to wipe out the lice infestation that continued to spread the disease, and they let the prisoners sort the food for themselves.

The present article makes clear that typhus and typhoid are distinct diseases. To link typhus to the Black Assize, a bette source is needed.
