In this geographical region, for a long time regarded as non\u2010endemic for CanL,\n                    <jats:italic>L. infantum<\/jats:italic>\n                    is generally transmitted by the sand flies of the genus\n                    <jats:italic>Phlebotomus<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Other sand flies, such as\n                    <jats:italic>Sergentomyia minuta<\/jats:italic>\n                    , have been less investigated, also because they were only considered as vectors of the nonpathogenic herpetophilic\n                    <jats:italic>Leishmania tarentolae<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Our study investigates sand fly species composition and\n                    <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. prevalence in hilly areas of northern Italy, in the Bergamo district. Sand flies were sampled with both sticky and light traps. Common wall lizards\n                    <jats:italic>Podarcis muralis<\/jats:italic>\n                    have been captured in the same areas, for the collection of biological samples: blood, feces, tissues, and gut\u2010associated secretions. Sand flies were identified morphologically (males) and molecularly (females). The collected samples were tested for the presence of\n                    <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. via conventional and digital droplet PCR.
