[Leish-l] Loss of a dear friend Richard Ward

[Carlos Costa]

Dear Jeff,

This is really a sad news.

I had not met him personally, but his advanced insights on longipalpis
complex still influence our thoughts on the enigma of kala-azar
urbanization in South America. A definitive influence on scientific
thoughts.

God bless his soul.

Carlos.
