Inferring transmission trees to guide targeting of interventions against visceral leishmaniasis and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis	2020-02-25		.txt	text/plain	5935	176	38	Previous VL transmission dynamic models 364 (23, 41-43) have significantly overestimated the relative con-365 tribution of asymptomatic infection to transmission (as up 366 to 80%), despite assuming asymptomatic individuals are only 367 1-3% as infectious as VL cases, by treating the population 368 as homogeneously mixing, such that all asymptomatic indi-369 viduals can infect all susceptible individuals via sandflies. Incorporating recent data on infectiousness of VL and PKDL, we show that while VL cases drive transmission when incidence is high, the contribution of PKDL increases significantly as VL incidence declines (reaching 55% in this setting).	cache/cord-103291-nqn1qzcu.txt	txt/cord-103291-nqn1qzcu.txt
