OBITUARY Ferenc Holló (1923-1997) Dr Ferenc Holló, Titular Professor, Editor-in-Chief of Magyar Állatorvosok Lapja (Hungarian Veterinary Journal) died on 4 December 1997 of a sudden heart attack at the age of 74. His death is a grievous loss to the entire Hungarian veterinary profession, as with him the leading personality and an indefatigable worker of Hungarian veterinary journalism has departed this life, an outstanding journalist and editor who did his work with great devotion and expertise over a period of almost five decades. Ferenc Holló was born in Jászberény on 26 August 1923. He survived the Second World War as a prisoner at the Mauthausen concentration camp. He took his veterinarian’s diploma in Budapest in 1947. In the initial phase of his career, Ferenc Holló specialised in parasitology and spent eight years working at the Central Veterinary Institute as a laboratory parasitologist. In 1960 he became a research fellow at the Research Faboratory of Helminthology, established within the Department of Parasitology of the Budapest University of Veterinary Science. From 1980, he spent two and a half years in Algeria as a parasitology expert of the UNDP/FAO, and organised the first veterinary parasitological diagnostic laboratory of the country. At the Budapest University of Veterinary Science he became the lecturer of the optional subject “Tropical Parasitoses”, and was appointed titular professor. ^ fJIAGYAft шиз 301163
