Armadillo-hunting infection risk variable. a Armadillo Hunting Model b Armadillo Leprosy Model. The risk of contact with armadillo infected through hunting (armadillo-hunting infection risk) (c) is estimated as the intersection ( ∩) between conditions favourable for armadillo hunting and conditions favourable for armadillo infection with M. leprae. Spatial resolution is at the level of municipalities. Hunting records of Dasypus spp. and Euphractus sexcinctus and leprosy prevalence data in armadillos are also mapped
