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

[Clos Joachim]

My deepest sympathy to his family and his close friends and colleagues! He was a marvel of a man. I had only a few chances to speak to him in depth, and I was amazed at his wide range of knowledge and interests. I was also delighted by his friendly persona and his great sense of humour. He will live on in our memories!

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.
