Agostino Bassi, in 1835, blamed the deaths of the insects on a contagious, living agent, that was visible to the naked eye (a fungus laternamed after him).

Girolamo Fracastoro proposed in 1546 that epidemic diseases are caused by transferable entities that could be transmitted.

Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur discreditted the theory of spontaneous generation (a leading competing theory).

Robert Koch was the first scientist to devise a series of tests used to assess the germ theory of disease. Koch's Postulates were published in 1890 and are still used today to help determine if a newly discovered disease is caused by a microorganism.
