De sympathia et antipathia rerum liber unus. De contagione et contagiosis morbis et curatione.Venice: apud heredes L. Iuntae, 1546.Though Fracastoro wrote this book more than a century before Leewenhoek invented the microscope, and could only express the theory of contagion in very general terms, this book represents a landmark in the development of ideas that centuries later led to the work of Bassi, Henle, Davaine, Koch, and others. For that reason we have classified Fracastoro as a precursor of foundational theories of infectious disease by microorganisms.
