Correction to: Malaria Journal (2021) 20:484 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-021-04021-5

Following publication of the original article [1], it was brought to the publisher’s attention that incorrect details had been provided in the trial registration information of the article.

Where it should read:

  • Trial registration: The trial was also registered with the Pan African Clinical Trial Registry (https://pactr.samrc.ac.za/) with study Trial No. PACTR201811640750761.

It said:

  • Trial registration: The trial was also registered with the ISRCTN registry with study Trial No. PACTR201811640750761.

The original article has been updated accordingly.
