Dear Hind
In Nepal, we are using QIAmp DNA minikit (51306, Qiagen, Germany) for DNA extraction from sandfly. In this kit, we do not observed inhibition of PCR, it works well.
thanks
Best regardsNarayan

 Dear All Iam looking for a reliable method for DNA extraction from individual sandfly which will give a good DNA that could be used in PCR  Best RegardsHind

The academics have spoken, but us lay writers could be forgiven for getting it "wrong". Usage accepts sandfly on this side of the Atlantic. As Bob pointed out the divide between sandfly  and sand-fly is the Atlantic Ocean. The Oxford English Dictionary and Collins offer only sandfly, Webster offers only sand fly. Encyclopedia Britannica uses sand fly, but then includes midges and gnats. Wikipedia is utterly confused. Trawling the publications of the  famous ento- parasito-logists showed that British journals such as TRSTMH use sandfly, Continental journals mostly use sandfly when publishing in English, but some such as Parassitologia seem a little more flexible and use either. US journals use sand fly, but adopted the style at  different times: AJTMH in abut 1983, Science and Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz by about 2000. I found only one sand-fly. So select your journal carefully if you have strong feelings.Anthony Bryceson     On 25 Mar 2009, at 07:00, BobKillick-Kendrick wrote:

The Americans use sand fly. The convention is that two words indicate a dipteran - eg. sand fly, tsetse fly, horse fly, stable fly etc, - whereas one word indicates a non-dipteran - eg. mayfly, damselfly, hoverfly etc. It seems sensible to me and I follow it.
