Prof. Aluísio Prata died yesterday at the age 91. He made important
contributions to Tropical Medicine, specially to the study of Chagas
disease, leishmaniasis and malaria. Many Brazilian scientists were educated
with him.

A strong clinical background, coupled with honesty, intelligence,
objectivity, obstinacy and dedication to the diseases that hit neglected
people were his hallmark.

Brazil lost one of its greatest scientists.

Carlos.
