Mean number of females P. perniciosus attracted toward uninfected vs. infected dogs under laboratory conditions.
Y axis represents the number of sand flies collected from the cage baited with infected and from the cage with uninfected dog. X axis represents the infection status of the dogs. Boxes are limited by the minimal and maximal value. Error bars correspond to the standard error. Significance code: p≤0.001 ***.

Proportion of females P. perniciosus fed on uninfected and on infected dogs under laboratory conditions.
Y axis represents the proportion of engorged females collected from the cage baited with infected dog, and from the cage baited with uninfected dog. X axis represents the infection status of the dogs. Boxes are limited by the minimal and maximal value. Error bars correspond to the standard error. Significance code: p≤0.01 **.
