MOSQUITOES AND DISEASE
Experiments Prove Yellow Fever ]
spread Only through the Pests.

Experiments Prove Yellow Fever 10
spread Only through the Pests.
The three most important scientific
advances of the last decade appear to
be the discovery of the Mays, the dis
cOvery Of argOn and the discovery Of
the relations of mosquitoes to disease,
says the Popular Science Monthly. The
last Of these discoveries is theoretically
as interesting as the others, and as far
as can be seen at present of much
greater practical Importance.
IL Is quite certain that malaria is
caused by n parasite that lives in the
red corpuscles of the blood and can be
transmitted only by mosquito Of n
certain kind, which must bite first the
patient suffering from malaria and
then the person to whom the disease
Is given. Experiments carried out at
Havana under the direction of Surgeon
General George NJ. Sternberg on the
relations of mosquitoes and yellow
fever have been reported by ncwspa-
per correspondents.
These experiments made by the army
officers in Havana are most dramatic.
A number of officers and soldiers have
permitted themselves to be bitten by
mosquitoes which had previously bit
ten yellow fever patients. In one set
Of experiments sip out Of seven who
were so infected contracted yellow
fever, and one of the surgeons. DIR.
Lnzear. sacrificed his life to the work.
In other experiments the soldiers
slept In the bedding and wore the
clothes Of yellow fever patients. but
these did not In any case contract the
disease. showing that It Is not trans.
mitted directly. All quarantine regu.
lations and the like are thus found to
be needless.
Yellow fever not being personally
contagious and only transmitted
through a certain species Of mOsqui.
.oes. II these mosquitoes arc extermin
ated. or II those suffering from yellow
fever are screened SO that mosquitoes
cannot have access to them, or II the
well are so screened, yellow fever, like
malaria. can be absolutely extermin
ated.
1t seems difficult to realize fully thu
far-reaching benefcence Of such exper
iments. or to give sufficient honor t
those who have conducted them.
