The World Federation of Parasitologists has recognised Prof John Sprent’s significant achievements by awarding him a WFP Distinguished Parasitologist Award. This is a most notable award which recognises John’s substantial career in parasitology. On behalf of the ASP, Prof Mal Jones will host a ceremony in Brisbane in late September to celebrate Prof Sprent’s career and present the award.
On behalf of Prof J D Smyth and the parasitological team that he assembled in the Zoology Department, ANU, I congratulate John on this award. I remember the early days of the ASP when John and Desmond and Warwick and Hue Gordon and Madeleine Angel et al. got together to found the Society. My boss at the time was Bill Southcott.
Best Wishes
David Heath (also a WFP Distinguished Parasitologist, and life member of ASP).
Though I may not be able to make the celebration planned by Malcolm I would like to send my congratulations to Professor Sprent.
