Chère Mireille

Aujourd'hui nous avons pris connaissance, par un email de Jeffrey Shaw, de cette douloureuse nouvelle de la disparition de Bob. C'est avec une grande et sincère tristesse que nous te disons que la mémoire  de Bob ne disparaîtra jamais de nos coeurs, ni comme ami ni comme Professeur de si élevé mérite.

Mireille, accepte les plus sincères  condoléances des amis

Odete et Carlos Pires

Assunto: [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.
