Popis: In the last edition of Morton's medical Bibliography (1991) the discovery of the transmission of old world cutaneous leishmaniasis by phlebotomes is attributed to english-speaking authors having published between 1924 and 1942. In fact this discovery resulting from researches undertaken since 1904 is due to the team of the Institut Pasteur d'Algerie (E.E. SERGENT and collaborators) and was published in 1921. We further recall the two meetings of the Société de pathologie exotique held in Paris on february 89 1933 during which were exposed the results obtained in PalestineSyria by ADLERTHEODOR (1925-1929) who implicitly recognized the priority of the French workers of the Institut Pasteur d'Algérie.
