[Leish-l] Leishmaniasis looses one of its icons - Bob Killick-Kendrick

[Reginaldo Peçanha Brazil]

Dear Jeff and
colleagues,
It was very nice to
meet all my friends in
ISOPS in Turkey and one of the greatest memories was seeing Bob and Mireille. In my
time as a student I spent
time with Bob where I became acquainted with the colonies of L. longipalpis but I ended up specializing also in finding mushrooms in
the fields of Imperial
College.  Mireille. was trying to teach me all about
edible mushrooms. 


 


 
Here is a photo of Bob and Mireille
in Turkey.

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.
