Answer:

The major differences between murine and epidemic typhus are their infection mode.

Explanation:

Typhus is a fever disorder that can be endemic or epidemic in nature. Both disorders are pathological and sociologically similar. Endemic typhus is also called as murine typhus.

murine typhus includes several symptoms such as high fever, rashes on the trunk of the body, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting and infects by the flea feces contact to cut or open wound.

Epidemic typhus is a similar disorder but with more serious symptoms, including hypotension, bleeding into the skin, delirium, and death and spread by infected body lice.

Thus, the major differences between murine and epidemic typhus are their infection mode.
