Contagious fever (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

typhus

(Other definitions for typhus that I've seen before include "Infectious disease with fever and purple rash" , "Disease found in spy hut, strangely" , "Acute, infectious fever" , "Infectious disease often spread by lice" , "Infectious disease transmitted by lice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
