The first attempts to protect a person from falling ill with typhus were made by Nicolle, as well as by the American researchers Gavino and Girard. These authors used the blood of typhus patients as an inoculum, based on the fact that an unknown causative agent of the disease is undoubtedly contained in the blood of an infected organism.
