Objective:
To assess the risk of imported leishmaniasis in China, offering scientific evidences for leishmaniasis prevention and control.
Methods:
The expert consultation method was used to establish a risk index system, and the risk matrix was used to evaluate the risk scales of leishmaniasis.
Results:
This risk assessment indicator system included 3 first-grade indexes and 13 second-grade indexes to the aspect of risk probability. Five indexes were also included on the aspect of the risk hazard severity in this system. The transmission risk matrix assessment showed that the risk of imported leishmaniasis transmission in China was in low risk level.
Conclusions:
This risk matrix assessment is applied for the transmission of imported leishmaniasis in China in the first time, indicating the potential risk of imported leishmaniasis in China.

Protein Import into the Peroxisomes
Peroxisomal Protein Import:
Peroxisomes lack the genetic machinery required to code for their own proteins. Hence, most peroxisomal membrane, lumenal and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm or ER and transported to the peroxisome...
ABC Transporters: Importer
In bacteria, based on the number of transmembrane helices and the chemical nature of their substrates, the ABC importers can be divided into three types:
