In 1865 Dr. Finlay sent a paper to the Academy of Sciences in Havana outlining his theory on weather conditions and the yellow fever disease. Carlos Finlay became famous for his work in identifying the mosquito as a carrier of the deadly yellow fever germ. His theory was followed by the recommendation to control the mosquito population as a way to control the spread of yellow fever. His work, carried out during the 1870's finally came to prominence in 1900. He was the first to theorize in 1881 that a mosquito was the way by which yellow fever was transmitted; a mosquito that bites a victim of the disease could bite a healthy person and spread the disease. His hypothesis was reproven nearly twenty years later by the Walter Reed Commission of 1900. Genera See text. ... 1900 (MCM) was an exceptional common year starting on Monday. ...
