| Contribution | Recorded hypothesis that malaria is caused by parasites. |
| Reference | Bruce-Chwatt |
| Notes | Giovanni Rasori. Bruce-Chwatt and de Zulueta (Oxford Univ. Press 1980) cite Jaramillo-Arango 1953 for Rasori's written belief that "intermittent fevers are produced by parasites which renew the paroxysm by the art of their reproduction." Presumably this was speculation, but original not checked. |
