The probability of being infectious to sandflies measured by xenodiagnosis of infected dogs. OR odds ratio; r² logistic regression pseudo; AUC area under receiver operator curve; dermatitis score: score of clinical dermatitis in skin only; PCR: negative or positive by standard PCR;

¹log₁₀ transformed anti-Leishmania antibody units (per mL) measured by ELISA, and L. infantum numbers in bone marrow (per mL), and ear skin biopsies (per gram), measured by qPCR.
