Jeff, 
What sad news for those who knew him, respected him and appreciated him as the great scientist he was.
Is there any chance of getting Mereille's mailing or e-mail address?
Thanks
 
Jorge Arias

Thank you Jeffrey. 
 
Certainly, one of the icons left us, Bob Killick-Kendrick . However, he has been so fundamental in the history of us all that work in the field of leishmaniais thatI we all will remember him for many years.
 
 And man lives if people remember him!

	 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.
