Panama Canal

originally Africa. monkeys there were carrying the disease. mosquito bit the monkey and thus a carrier. mosquitos traveled on boats to the Americas. mosquito bit a person and thus introduced into the population. the Panama canal was one incident. other incidents like the Memphis epidemic were caused by boats that made stops in the Caribbean coming to US and bringing mosquitos and infected persons with them.
