Accompanying text: "... Medical entomology and metabolic disorders of man received a large share of interest. Among other subjects there were investigations on dysentery, cholera, and plague by 1st Lt. Richard Pearson Strong, MC (fig. 28), investigations on dengue by Lt. Col. J. F. Siler, MC, Maj. Arthur P. Hitchens, MC, 1st Lt. Charles F. Craig, MC, and Capt. James S. Simmons, MC. Craig and Ashburn showed that dengue fever was caused by a filterable virus, and Siler, Hitchens, Simmons, and others added much to the knowledge of the transmission of dengue by mosquitoes, chiefly, Aedes aegypti. Capt. E. B. Vedder, MC, made classical studies of beriberi. Capt. Raymond A. Kelser, VC, developed a vaccine against rinderpest in water buffalo. There were many important investigations on malaria. ..."
