 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.
