I am deeply saddened to hear the death of your colleague, Dr. Carlo Urbani,
in the line of his duty, as he worked on SARS in Southeast Asia. I share
with you the feeling of a greart loss and grievance.

<br>Everybody was bitterly shocked when they heard that the WHO scientist,

Urbani</font></b>, who discovered that a dangerous new microbe was beginning
to spread around the globe, died of the same disease, now known as SARS,
in a Bangkok hospital on the 29<sup>th</sup> March 2003. However, it was
with great pride that I learnt that Carlo was an expert in parasitic diseases
of schoolchildren who had worked in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. His insight
into the transmission SARS, and the preventative measures that this led
to have saved an incalculable number of lives throughout the world, but
sadly not his own.
<br> Would he have
done this without his intimate understanding of the way parasites are transmitted?
