- 2026-08-17T04:05:00.000Z: In 2025, Los Angeles County documented an all-time high of 220 flea-borne typhus cases, up from 187 cases in 2024.
- 2026-08-17T04:05:00.000Z: The LA County Department of Public Health flea-borne typhus page preserves the 220-case 2025 all-time high, the 187-case 2024 comparison, the sustained-rise language, and the Central and South Los Angeles cluster geography.
- 2026-08-17T04:05:00.000Z: The County of Los Angeles announcement titled 'Public Health Reports All Time High of Flea-Borne Typhus Cases', dated April 2, 2026, is the dated origin of the all-time-high finding.
- 2026-08-17T04:05:00.000Z: The record case count is fully supported by the issuing authority, but two elements of the captured headline are not. The record is for calendar year 2025 and was announced in April 2026, so it is not a current-period record; and the county's own typhus data section attributes localized clusters geographically without stating a measured link to homeless encampments.
