With improvement of hygiene, the risk of louse-borne rickettsiosis (epidemic typhus) is low in Europe, Nevertheless, recrudescent form of Rickettsia prowazekii infection persists and there could be an epidemic typhus outbreak if a body lice epidemic occurs under unfavorable sanitary conditions.About:

José A. Oteo,Aránzazu Portillo +1 more
TL;DR: Rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria within the genus Rickettsia, mainly transmitted by arthropods, and Mediterranean spotted fever was considered the only tick-borne rickettsiosis in Europe until recently, but 'new' TBR have been described in Europe during last years.
