• Resumen

  • Opened in 1888, the Pasteur Institute quickly became a central player in French colonial policy. In the following years a number of affiliated institutes were created in French colonies and in areas where France had a strategic interest. Researchers of the Institute also participated in missions abroad. Ilana Löwy, Anne-Marie Moulin, Jean-Pierre Dedet, Francisco J. Martínez, Kim Pelis and Claire Salomon-Bayet among the others have already investigated various facets of the role the Institute and its researchers played in the making of the French colonial policy.1 Nonetheless, a comprehensive history of the Pasteur Institute and of its role in French history is still lacking.
