Table 1. Risk-matrix evaluation on the transmission risk of mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in 6 endemic PLADs in China, 2015–2020.

Classification of Occurrence probabilities of Phlebotomus chinensis	Classification of MT-ZVL endemic CLADs
	ClassⅠ (cases ≥10, 3)	ClassⅡ (cases 3–9, 2)	Class Ⅲ (cases <3, 1)	Non-endemic (no case, 0)
Note: MT-ZVL scores were calculated by the summation of the scores of endemic CLADs classification and the scores of occurrence probabilities of Phlebotomus chinensis. The corresponding risk levels were evaluated comprehensively by the scores and opinions of experts. Abbreviations: MT-ZVL=mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis; PLADs=provincial-level administrative divisions; CLADs=county-level administrative divisions.
High risk (0.60–1, 3)	6, RISK 1	5, RISK 2	4, RISK 2	3, RISK 3
Medium risk (0.30–0.59, 2)	5, RISK 2	4, RISK 2	3, RISK 3	2, RISK 3
Low risk (0–0.29, 1)	4, RISK 2	3, RISK 3	2, RISK 3	1, RISK 4
