		The importance of Carlos Finlay (1833–1915) in the discovery of the mosquito vector of yellow fever has often been overshadowed by the fame of his American colleague and friend, Walter Reed.
		Finlay was also one of several nineteenth-century bacteriologists who mistakenly believed that they had isolated a specific microbial cause of yellow fever (shown, in the 1930s by Max Theiler, to be a virus), but Finlay's tetragenus, like Guiseppe Sanarelli's Bacillus Icteroides and Domingo Freire's micrococcus, proved to be a harmless contaminant.
		Finlay supplied the eggs from which the mosquitoes used in the experiments were hatched, and Reed was careful to credit the importance of Finlay's work in each of his publications describing his experiments.

	Dr. Carlos Finlay - History of Cuba
		In 1847, at the age of 13, Juan Carlos was sent to Germany to begin his primary studies, and later to the town of Rouen in France, where his father had studied medicine.
		When he returned to Cuba as a teenager, he asked to legally change his name to Carlos Juan, as a way to further embrace his Cuban identity.
		He was the first to theorize 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.

	Carlos Finlay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Juan Carlos Finlay (December 3 1833 – August 20, 1915, Havana), was a Cuban physician and scientist.
		In the words of General Leonard Wood, a physician and U.S. military governor of Cuba in 1900: "The confirmation of Dr. Finlay's doctrine is the greatest step forward made in medical science since Jenner's discovery of the vaccination."
		This discovery helped William C. Gorgas of Alabama reduce the incidence and prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases in Panama during the American campaign from 1903 onwards to construct the Panama Canal.

	UVa-HSL :: Inside Information :: Spanish Medicine and the Finlay Theory
		The solution provided by the Cuban physician Carlos Finlay, who had for years argued correctly that a particular mosquito, Aedes aegypti, transmitted yellow fever and even prescribed a program of fumigation, water drainage, and the other measures eventually enacted to great effect by the Americans, found no takers.
		Another problem was political: In the United States, “public opinion,” forced a solution to the yellow fever crisis in 1900, but the Spanish government empowered by a sham of electoral democracy felt itself immune from such pressures.
		Against this array of obstacles, Finlay, a “mere” practitioner of ophthalmology, a man with numerous enemies and detractors within his own Royal Academy of Sciences in Havana, and, on top of everything else, a sympathizer with the Cuban rebels, had no chance.

	Carlos J. Finlay
		For twenty years of his professional life, renowned Cuban physician and scientist Carlos J. Finlay stood at the center of a vigorously debated medical controversy. The etiology of yellow fever -- its causes and origins -- had puzzled medical practitioners since the earliest recorded cases of the disease in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
		His conclusion that the disease was waterborne, though later verified, was rejected by publishers at the time. Finlay soon afterwards began research on yellow fever, publishing his first paper on it in 1872.
