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

[hechmi louzir]

I have just learnt that Bob was any more not among us. I keep of him the souvenir of a big sir, a researcher of great talent and humanist. I witnessed his commitment in the education of parasitology, entomology. He trained several peoples around the world; among them some are at present at home, in particular to the Institute Pasteur of Tunis. We lost a big friend and our thoughts are with Mireille.

It is a sad day for all sand fly workers.  Bob and Mireille have put
the cornerstone of sand fly research at Pasteur Institute of Tunis. He
is the one who propose Pasteur Institute of Tunis to host ISOPS 5
during the ISOPS 4.  I am sure that Bob is proud with what he has
initiated at Pasteur Institute of Tunis.

God bless you Bob
