Theiler was born in Pretoria and began his studies in South Africa, completing them in the UK at St Thomas's Hospital and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Theiler used albino mice in his work on yellow fever, and eventually combined the mouse-adapted viral strain with serum from the blood of people who had recovered from yellow fever and injected the mixture into humans.
Theiler therefore began culturing the virus in chick embryos, and in 1937 he developed vaccine 17-D, still the main form of protection against yellow fever.

Theiler found himself in the midst of a passionate debate about the cause of the condition.
Theiler, taking a stand unlikely to endear him to his new chief, argued that a virus must be responsible.
Working at the same time as Theiler, he isolated one such organism which he believed to be the cause of yellow fever and named it Leptospira icteroides.

Theiler received his medical training at St. Thomas' Hospital, London, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, graduating in 1922.
An early breakthrough in his research came when he discovered that mice were susceptible to the virus; this made it possible for him to collect a far larger amount of data on the disease than he could working with more expensive animals.
From 1930 to 1964 Theiler conducted his research at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (now Rockefeller University), New York City, where with his associates he developed the improved (17-D) vaccine, which finally eliminated yellow fever as a major disease of humans.
