Relationship (Generalized Additive Models) between climatic variables and sandfly density (mean of the three years). Phlebotomus ariasi density (sandflies/m2) and annual mean temperature (a), annual minimum temperature (b) and annual maximum temperature (c): Sergentomyia minuta density (sandflies/m2) and annual mean temperature (d), annual minimum temperature (e) and annual maximum temperature (f). In comparison with Ph. ariasi, Se. minuta shows higher tolerance to higher temperature
