The Impact of Girolamo Fracastoro and Anton van Leeuwenhoek on Renaissance Quarantine Practices

Explore the contributions of Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) and Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) to public health during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Fracastoro introduced the concept of quarantine as part of his sanitary measures against disease, while Leeuwenhoek's groundbreaking work in microscopy revealed the microscopic world of pathogens. Together, their ideas contributed to the development of medical police and the establishment of bills of mortality, ultimately leading to improved sanitation and the management of epidemics.
