          Abstract

          The human leishmaniasis vector--phlebotomine sandfly--was proven in China, i.e. P. alexandri, P. chinesis, P. longiductus, P. sichuanesis and P. smirnovi. The infectious rate, biology and distribution of these vectors are shown in this review. Two disputed questions about P. chinensis and P. sichuanesis, P. smirnovi and P. wui are discussed. At last, the vectors of animal leishmania are provided, i.e. the vectors of great gerbil leishmania: P. alexandri, P. andrejievi, P. caucasicus, P. mongolensis and P. smirnovi, and the vector of lizards leishmania: S. sinkiangensis.
