RESUMEN
Resumen Uno de los grandes genios de la biología fue el médico sueco Carlos Linneo (1707-1778). Se lo denominó princeps botanicorum por su gran aporte a la clasificación de las plantas. Sin embargo, su fama imperecedera se debe a su obra Systema Naturae en que crea un sistema taxonómico binomial para clasificar a todos los seres vivos y no vivos en tres reinos el reino mineral, el reino vegetal y el reino animal. En su esquema taxonómico, los animalículos o microorganismos descubiertos por el sabio neerlandés Antoine van Leeuwenhoek en 1676, fueron clasificados tentativamente en el reino animal, dentro de la clase Vermes o Gusanos. La idea de que estos animalitos fueran la causa de las enfermedades infecciosas fue planteada por Linneo y desarrollada en profundidad por Johannes C. Nyander y Johannes Carolus Roos, dos de sus discípulos, quienes publicaron esta idea en sus tesis Exanthemata viva en 1757 y Mundus invisibilis en 1767, respectivamente.
ABSTRACT
Abstract One of the great geniuses of biology was the Swedish physician Carlos Linnaeus (1707-1778). He was called princeps botanicorum for his great contribution to the classification of plants. However, his undying fame is due to his work Systema Naturae in which he creates a binomial taxonomic system to classify all living and non-living beings into three kingdoms the mineral kingdom, the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. In his taxonomic scheme, the animalicles or microorganisms discovered by the Dutch scholar Antoine van Leeuwenhoek in 1676, were tentatively classified in the animal kingdom, within the class Vermes or Worms. The idea that these little animals were the cause of infectious diseases was imagined by Linnaeus and developed in depth by Johannes C. Nyander and Johannes Carolus Roos, two of his disciples, who published this idea in their theses Exanthemata viva in 1757 and Mundus invisibilis in 1767, respectively.
