For over two centuries yellow fever (YF) had terrorized those visiting and living close to endemic areas. Prompted by continued imports and its impact on US troops in the Spanish–American War of 1898, US Surgeon-General George Sternberg sent a small Commission to investigate the problem in US-occupied Cuba. It comprised James Carrol, Jesse Lazear and Aristide Agramonte; its leader was Surgeon-Major Walter Reed. Whilst in Cuba they collaborated with Cuban Juan Guitéras of Havana's Sanitary Department and Surgeon-Major William Gorgas, American chief of the island's Sanitary Department.
