Dear Jeff - I have some said news to report to the Leish-sand fly<br>
community<br>
<br>
Yesterday I learned about Richard Titus passing in Fort Collins, Colorado,<br>
this past Sunday January 20th. Richard was an estimated colleague whom I<br>
had the pleasure of meeting many years ago and have maintained close<br>
contact in the last few years. Richard had a significant impact in the<br>
field of sand flies and Leishmania, and many folks will remember him from<br>
his contributions regarding the role of sand fly saliva and salivary<br>
molecules in exacerbation of disease and immunomodulation in vertebrates.<br>
>From the seminal work Richard and others published, many of us have<br>
embarked in understanding the roles of saliva and salivary proteins not<br>
only with regard to transmission of Leishmania by sand flies, but also in<br>
other vector-pathogen models. Richard also significantly contributed to<br>
the training of many students from all over the globe who spent time in<br>
his lab at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. I recall one of his<br>
stories about his nearly 25 years of working with vector saliva and having<br>
to explain to family members what was that he did as an MD. Richard would<br>
simply state that "after all the hard work of going through med school and<br>
hours and hours in the lab he worked with spit".<br>
<br>
He was a good colleague and someone I will miss and remember dearly.<br>
Richard is survived by his daughter Katherine and grandson Christopher. I<br>
also was informed that funeral arrangements are being or will be made<br>
locally by Bohlander Funeral Chapel (<a href="http://www.bohlenderfuneralchapel.com" target="_blank">www.bohlenderfuneralchapel.com</a>).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
