It is so sad.  We all have to go sooner or later, but for some it is always too soon - Bob was certainly one of those. As his knowledge and contributions to our field, his warmth, presence, personality and love for life and for Mireille  was huge.  We lost a dear friend and our thoughts are with Mireille.
Farrokh and Marlies

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.
