| Contribution | Proposed living contagion with a specific verminous seed for each disease. |
| Reference | Garrison |
| Notes | A. von Plenciz. The contagion was described as contagium animatum and seminum verminosum. First name Marc Anthony (Marcus Anton). Garrison cites a senior and a junior, and attributes this theory to Plenciz Sr.'s treatise on scarlatina. However there appears to be a discrepancy in connection with these men: the index citation for Jr. seems to refer to Sr. |
