Mary Malton is popularly called as Typhoid Mary as she was the cause of typhoid outbreak in the US.

Explanation:

Mary Mallon was born in 1869 in Ireland and then moved to the US in 1884. She did various works to earn her living like doing laundry and cooking. She was stubborn and denied being ill and spread the disease to many people.
