Of these, 109 addressed multiple, non\u2013mutually exclusive typhoid fever risk factors. Unsurprisingly, of the total articles reviewed on risk factors, approximately 70.6% (77\/109) originated from the Asian continent (51\/109, 46.8%) and the African continent (26\/109, 23.9%). Half of the articles (55\/109, 50.5%) focused on risk factors related to demographic and socioeconomic transmission, while 44% (48\/109) of the articles examined foodborne transmission. Additional risk factors included water, sanitation, and hygiene practices: waterborne transmissions (45\/109, 41.3%) and sanitation and hygiene practices (34\/109, 31.2%), travel-related risk (19\/109, 17.4%), antimicrobial use (14\/109, 12.8%), climate-related factors (15\/109, 13.8%), environment-related factors (9\/109, 8.3%), typhoid carriers (11\/109, 10.1%), and host-related risk factors (6\/109, 5.5%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review identifies demographic and socioeconomic factors as key drivers of typhoid transmission, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Strengthening street food regulation in urban Asia and investing in water infrastructure in rural Africa can significantly mitigate risk. Integrating water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions with typhoid vaccines can reduce immediate exposure while enhancing long-term immunity. Prioritizing these strategies in schools and high-risk communities is essential for sustainable typhoid control. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess risk factor causality and vaccine impact, guiding more effective public health interventions.<\/jats:p>\n
