[Leish-l] Obituary

[Renato Gusmao]

Siento mucho la perdida de la Dra. Dora!
Dora és un orgullo de la entomologia de América . Su contribución y dedicación a la ciencia, sendo referencia única a la identidad de los vectores, a lá enseñanza y al control de enfermedades hace con que nuestra entomologia sufra mucho por su ausencia. Que descanse con la seguridad y tranquilidad de los grandes científicos de nuestro  tempo!
