Walter Reed
Major Walter Reed, a US military doctor, who in 1901 led the team to validate Cuban doctor Carlos Finlay's theory that yellow fever is transmitted by a specific species of mosquitoes, not by due to direct contact. This insight has motivated new fields of epidemiology and biomedical medicine, and most immediately allows the United States to continue and complete work on the Panama Canal. Reed follows up on work started by Carlos Finlay and by George Miller Sternberg, who is dubbed "America's first microbiologist".
