Dear Jeff - I have some said news to report to the Leish-sand fly
community

Yesterday I learned about Richard Titus passing in Fort Collins, Colorado,
this past Sunday January 20th. Richard was an estimated colleague whom I
had the pleasure of meeting many years ago and have maintained close
contact in the last few years. Richard had a significant impact in the
field of sand flies and Leishmania, and many folks will remember him from
his contributions regarding the role of sand fly saliva and salivary
molecules in exacerbation of disease and immunomodulation in vertebrates.
>From the seminal work Richard and others published, many of us have
embarked in understanding the roles of saliva and salivary proteins not
only with regard to transmission of Leishmania by sand flies, but also in
other vector-pathogen models. Richard also significantly contributed to
the training of many students from all over the globe who spent time in
his lab at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. I recall one of his
stories about his nearly 25 years of working with vector saliva and having
to explain to family members what was that he did as an MD. Richard would
simply state that "after all the hard work of going through med school and
hours and hours in the lab he worked with spit".

He was a good colleague and someone I will miss and remember dearly.
Richard is survived by his daughter Katherine and grandson Christopher. I
also was informed that funeral arrangements are being or will be made
locally by Bohlander Funeral Chapel (www.bohlenderfuneralchapel.com<http://www.bohlenderfuneralchapel.com>).

Regards,

Marcelo
