The development of entomology and medical entomology in France is discussed in the context of the prevalence of Lamarckian ideas concerning heredity and evolution. Lamarckian ideas have greatly influenced research carried out at the Institut Pasteur by Emile Roubaud and more generally in Felix Mesnil's laboratory, as well as research in general entomology at the Museum national d'histoire naturelle. By contrast, it did not influence research and teaching at the Faculté de médecine of Paris or that of physicians more generally including those in overseas Instituts Pasteur, which clearly kept away from theoretical discussion concerning the origin of variations and adaptation in insects of medical interest.
本文在拉马克关于遗传和进化思想盛行的背景下，探讨了法国昆虫学和医学昆虫学的发展。拉马克的思想对埃米尔·鲁博在巴斯德研究所开展的研究，以及更广泛地对费利克斯·梅斯尼尔实验室的研究，还有自然历史博物馆的普通昆虫学研究都产生了极大影响。相比之下，它并未影响巴黎医学院或更广泛的医生群体（包括海外巴斯德研究所的医生）的研究和教学，这些机构明显回避了关于医学上重要昆虫变异和适应起源的理论讨论。
