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

[Ahmed Musa]

Dear Jeff,
This is a great loss. Bob Killick-Kendrick dedicated his life time fighting infectious diseases all over the Globe. He spent some time in Sudan mapping vectors of leishmania parasites. 

May his soul rest in peace, ameen!!!
