Walter Reed (13 September 1851 – 22 November 1902) adalah seorang dokter Angkatan Darat di Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 1901, ia memimpin sebuah kelompok penelitian yang berhasil membuktikan teori bahwa demam kuning disebarkan oleh spesies nyamuk tertentu dan bukan lewat kontak langsung. Penemuan ini tidak hanya memastikan bahwa virus merupakan patogen manusia,[1] tetapi juga memungkinkan kelanjutan pengerjaan Terusan Panama (1904–1914).
Kehidupan awal
Walter Reed dilahirkan di Belroi, Virginia, dari pasangan Lemuel Sutton Reed (seorang pendeta Methodist) dan istri pertamanya, Pharaba White.[2]
