Dear Colleagues,

comprehensive database of sand      flies in colony throughout the world.
Any information you can send me on your sand fly colonies will be greatly
appreciated.  The essential elements of information I need about your
colonies are:
>>

>> Phone number (include country and city codes)
>> Fax number (include country and city codes)
>> E-mail address

be made available on the web.  It will be updated from time to time as more
information is received.  If you know of other sand fly workers who have
colonies, please forward this message to them or send me their e-mail or
mailing addresses and I will contact them directly.
