Sampling points of desert lizards in Northwest China, along with the current foci of endemicity of leishmaniosis. The above (a) shows the study area, sampling sites, and foci; the below (b) highlights the topography, sites numbers, and sandfly distribution pattern. Thirty one green solid circles () represent the points where lizards were captured in this study. The site numbers S1–S15 correspond to those in Table 1. Red solid triangles () represent desert-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniosis (DT-ZVL) endemic foci. Yellow solid triangles () represent anthroponotic type visceral leishmaniosis (AVL) endemic foci. Distribution of epidemic foci was collected and drawn according to the data published [15, 29,30,31]. Black and white stars represent the distributions of sandflies in Northwest China (★, Phlebotomus mongolensis; ☆, Phlebotomus wui; , Phlebotomus alexandri; , Phlebotomus longiductus), which were drawn according to the references [16, 32]. The image depicted in this figure is our own
