Detailed explanation-1: -Francesco Redi, (born Feb. 18, 1626, Arezzo, Italy-died March 1, 1697, Pisa), Italian physician and poet who demonstrated that the presence of maggots in putrefying meat does not result from spontaneous generation but from eggs laid on the meat by flies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Redi went on to demonstrate that dead maggots or flies would not generate new flies when placed on rotting meat in a sealed jar, whereas live maggots or flies would. This disproved both the existence of some essential component in once-living organisms, and the necessity of fresh air to generate life.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1684, Redi published a book called Observations on living animals that are in living animals where he included drawings of over 100 parasites and the locations they were found. The theory of spontaneous generation states living organisms arose from nonliving material and was a widely accepted theory.
Detailed explanation-4: -Redi gained fame for his controlled experiments. One set of experiments refuted the popular notion of spontaneous generation-a belief that living organisms could arise from nonliving matter. Redi has been called the “father of modern parasitology” and the “founder of experimental biology".
Detailed explanation-5: -Redi successfully demonstrated that the maggots came from fly eggs and thereby helped to disprove spontaneous generation.
