Yellow fever was not "founded" by an individual, as it is a viral disease caused by the yellow fever virus, which is transmitted primarily by mosquitoes. The disease was first identified in the late 17th century in the Americas, but significant contributions to understanding its transmission were made by researchers like Walter Reed in the early 20th century. Reed's work during the Spanish-American War helped establish that mosquitoes were the primary vectors of the virus, leading to effective prevention measures.
