    <p>A. Correlation circle of the variables used for the PCA, projected on the first two components. B. Correlation circle of the variables used for the PCA, projected on the third and fourth components. PCV-related traits are presented in red, RBC in grey, Hb in orange, TWBC in blue and PA in black. The codes are explained in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126498#pone.0126498.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. C. Projection of individual coordinates on axes 1 and 2. D. Projection of individual coordinates on axes 3 and 4. Breed colours for LAG, BAO, NDA, BOR and ZFU are respectively black, orange, blue, green and red.</p

    <p>DIVA-GIS software version 7.5 [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126498#pone.0126498.ref035" target="_blank">35</a>] with the BIOCLIM system [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126498#pone.0126498.ref036" target="_blank">36</a>] was used to obtain the map. The different agro-climatic zones were defined based on the annual precipitation of the Worldclim database (<a href="http://www.worldclim.org/" target="_blank">http://www.worldclim.org</a>) and according to the OECD 2009 criteria [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126498#pone.0126498.ref037" target="_blank">37</a>]. According to [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126498#pone.0126498.ref038" target="_blank">38</a>], the current northern limit of tsetse presence is slightly above the limit between the semi-arid and sub-humid dry areas.

    <p>For visual convenience, the five breeds are presented in two graphical devices, with LAG used as the reference population. PA is estimated as the number of trypanosomes/ml of blood. A. log<sub>10</sub>(PA+1) evolution for the LAG, ZFU and BOR breeds. B. log<sub>10</sub>(PA+1) evolution for the LAG, NDA and BAO breeds. The continuous lines are the average per breed and the surrounding areas represent more and less one standard deviation from the mean.</p

    <p>PCV is expressed as a percentage of blood volume. A. PCV evolution for the LAG, ZFU and BOR breeds. B. PCV evolution for the LAG, NDA and BAO breeds. The continuous lines are the average per breed and the surrounding areas represent the confidence intervals of the means at 95%.</p

    Evolution of TWBC over the time course of infection.

    <p>TWBC is expressed as million leukocytes/ml of blood. A. TWBC evolution for the LAG, ZFU and BOR breeds. B. TWBC evolution for the LAG, NDA and BAO breeds. The continuous lines are the average per breed and the surrounding areas represent the confidence intervals of the means at 95%.</p
