Relationships between the probability of dogs being infectious to sandflies and immunologic, parasitological or clinical parameters.

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.
