Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has re-emerged in several regions of China, particularly in mountain-type zoonotic foci. Its major vectors, Phlebotomus chinensis, Phlebotomus longiductus, and Phlebotomus wui, may shape regional transmission risk through differences in population structure and dispersal. However, their large-scale genetic connectivity remains poorly understood. This study aimed to assess...
