Correction to: Malar J 18:383 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-019-3018-1

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in one of the coordinates provided in the subsection ‘Study design and study area’.

Where it says “10° 31′ 6.07″ N, 4° 18′ 48.01″ E”, it should instead say “10° 31′ 6.07″ N, 4° 18′ 48.01″ W” (that is, West instead of East).

Similarly, where is says “10° 36′ 17.56″ N, 4° 22′ 22.17″ E”, it should instead say “10° 36′ 17.56″ N, 4° 22′ 22.17″ W” (that is, West instead of East).

The authors apologize for this error.
