Ibn Zuhr (1091-1161, Seville, Spain) was one of the most prominent physicians, clinicians and parasitologists of the Middle Ages. He was the first to test different medicines on animals before using them with humans. Also, he was the first to describe in detail scabies, the itch mite, and is thus regarded as the first parasitologist.
