N2 - Background: Continuous endemicity and re-emergence of vector-borne diseases in Mexico have called for a new approach to vector control programs including regular surveillance. Correct and accurate identification of vectors is essential for a successful surveillance program. This study uses DNA barcoding under the Mexican Barcode of Life (MexBol) project to improve vector surveillance and accurately delineate arthropod vector diversities including sandfly for leishmaniasis control in Mexico. In October and November 2016, sandflies were collected from different regions in Quintana Roo, Mexico, where leishmaniasis is endemic, using CDC light and Shannon traps. This project formed part of the health ministry surveillance program. Results: Samples collected were sortedbysex, and female samples were pooled for PCR for pathogen examination. Thirty-three (33) male samples were morphologically identified …
