Carlos Finlay (1833-1915),Cuban physician. Finlay is best know for his research on the yellow fever mosquito. In 1881,Finlay published a paper describing the mosquito Aedes aegypti as the agent transmitting the disease of yellow fever. He had noticed how mosquito and yellow fever seasons coincided. However,he couldn't prove his theory as he was unable to isolate the virus which is spread by this mosquito. Although ridiculed,Finlay was able to interest the scientist Walter Reed,and Reed later proved Finlay's theory correct | |
