Parameters of the final model.

<p>Bootstrapped parameter estimates of the reduced final model, <i>Hurdle Shade/Macro</i>, bootstrap SE values, and 95% BC a confidence limits (CLs) for covariates predicting the presence (binomial model) and abundance (count model) of sandflies in the city of Santo Tomé. Bold covariates do not include 0 in their CLs.</p><p>Parameters of the final model.</p

Candidate models, variables included and habitat/s.

Spatial distribution of the proportion of dogs and sandfly.

<p>Spatial distribution of the proportion of rK39+ dogs (a) and sandfly accumulated abundance (b). Circle size represents the arbitrarily categorized values of the proportion of rK39+ dogs, and abundance of <i>Lu</i>. <i>longipalpis</i>, respectively. In parenthesis, number of sampling sites are indicated.</p

Environmental variables used to explain the variation in <i>Lu</i>. <i>longipalpis</i> abundance at Santo Tomé, Corrientes.

Land cover classification of the city.

<p>Land cover vectorial obtained after a non-supervised classification of the NDVI raster image. Sand-fly sampling sites are represented by the ▲ symbol. Areas of 50 m radius around the trap were used to calculate each type of cover proportion.</p
