Dear Sinval and Jeff - My suggestion to the WL organizers that a Killick-Kendrick lecture be instated as part of every WL event, and a medal/diploma in honor of KK be offered to the lecturer.

Dear Dr Shaw and all leishmaniacs, 



An inestimable loss to all scientific community of parasitology, entomology and tropical medicine. Professor Bob Killick, with his peculiar elegance, experience, interesting insights and natural sense of humor always brought many contributions and special comments on many leishmaniasis fields, specially on sand flies. Who participated in ISOPS (International Symposium on Phlebotomine Sandflies) meetings, which he was an the enthusiastic founder, has in mind unforgettable memories. His classic book "The Leishmaniases in Biology and Medicine", co-organized with Wallace Peters, is example of his dedication and love for leishmaniasis and one celebrated title of parasitology and tropical medicine. 

Our condolences for his family, in special to Mirelle. We will make a special tribute to him in Worldleish 5 in Brazil. 



Sinval

I have the very sad task to inform everybody that last night (22/10/2011) Bob Killick-Kendrick died. Leishmaniasis has lost one of its icons and the breadth and depth of Bob´s comments on-line and at meetings based on years of experience is a terrible loss to us all. Bob´s career spanned many areas of parasitology. He worked on trypanosomiasis in Nigeria with David Godfrey and on returning to England dedicated many years to malaria, in particular rodent malaria. He travelled extensively on field projects all over the world and together with Prof Rioux was seminal in understanding the ecology of leishmaniasis in the Southern France where lived.

Leish-L welcomes your comments and anecdotes on Bob´s life so please send them.
