Effect of pathogen load and replication rate in driving the association between mean conjunctival swelling and transmission rate (as in Fig. 1B)

Linear effect model	Explanatory term	Estimate ± SE	t Statistics	P‐value
1	Conjunctival swelling	0.08 ± 0.003	t 41 = 2.6	0.01
	Peak pathogen load	0.06 ± 0.06	t 41 = 1.0	0.3
2	Conjunctival swelling	0.009 ± 0.003	t 40 = 2.8	0.008
	Total pathogen load	0.03 ± 0.05	t 40 = 0.6	0.6
3	Conjunctival swelling	0.008 ± 0.003	t 41 = 2.8	0.009
	Replication rate	0.04 ± 0.06	t 41 = 0.7	0.5
