Dear Jeffrey,
These are terrible
news indeed.
I am sure that all
leishmaniac community is in grief.
Sergio Mendonça


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.
