Walter Reed
Definition
- Walter Reed was a surgeon in the U.S. Army who significantly contributed to knowledge of the etiology and epidemiology of yellow fever. Reed's work is significant in that he focused on the means of disease transmission rather than a specific disease agent and, in doing so, greatly reduced infection rates.
