Sex of the host influenced transmission in both cases, but conversely: females were associated with a higher probability of infection in birds (OR: 3.98 [95% CI: 1.48–10.72]), whereas in mice, males were more likely to transmit infection (marginally significant association, p = 0.059, OR: 1.26 [95% CI: 1.09–1.93]) than females.
