Yellow Fever was a horrible disease that lasted from the early 1600s, to early 1900s. Dr. Walter Reed and his team, Dr. Jesse Lazear, Dr. James Carroll, and Dr. Aristide Agramonte, together helped find the cause of yellow fever. Dr. Lazear had believed in the mosquito theory for years, while the others had never believed it. Jesse Lazear was pressing a mosquito in a tube against a yellow fever patients stomach, and it flew out and bit Lazear. Lazear caught yellow fever and died shortly after, Reed continued the research and found that Lazear and Carlos Finely were right, mosquitos caused Yellow Fever.
