When did he discovered? Do you mean what? He discovered Yellow Fever was transmitted by mosquitoes. And if you mean when did he discover it, then the answer you are looking for is he led a research team that discovered this in 1900.
The Walter Reed Army Medical Center and The Walter Reed General Hospital were named after Major Walter Reed, an army physician who discovered that Yellow Fever was transmitted by certain types of Mosquito bites rather than by direct contact.
