 This is a very bad news. My condolences to Mireille. Bob was one of the icons in parasitology during the last 50 years.  Alejandro Llanos-Cuentas.   From: jayusp at hotmail.com

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








 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.Jeffrey Shaw Leish-L welcomes your comments and anecdotes on Bob´s life so please send them.
