Dear Jeff and colleagues,<br><br>This is very sad news. The first time I met Professor Killick-Kendrick was in 2003. At that time, I was an undergraduate student attending a veterinary congress in Minas Gerais, Brazil. He delivered a comprehensive talk, sharing with us important insights into bio-ecology of sand fly and epidemiology of leishmaniasis. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting him twice, including in the last WL in India. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to work with him directly, but his contributions to science already taught me a lot. As a young leishmaniac, I will always have his studies as a source of inspiration and learning.<br>
<br>My sincere condolences to his wife. <br><br>All the best, <br>Filipe<br><br>-- <br>

Leishmaniasis has lost one of its icons and the breadth and depth of Bobīs comments on-line and at meetings based on years of experience is a terrible loss to us all. Bobīs career spanned many areas of parasitology. He worked on trypanosomiasis in Nigeria with David Godfrey and on returning to England dedicated many years to malaria, in particular rodent malaria. He travelled extensively on field projects all over the world and together with Prof Rioux was seminal in understanding the ecology of leishmaniasis in the Southern France where lived.</span></span></p>
