Correction to: Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:207 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04082-6
Following publication of the original article [1], the authors flagged two errors in the Discussion:
The sentence “Dogs being male and older are two potential significant factors associated with higher Echinococcus spp. infection [11]” had been incorrectly written as “Dogs being male and older are two significant factors associated with higher Echinococcus spp. infection [11]”;
While the sentence “As to the age bias, the infection burden of E. granulosus could be significantly lower in dogs over five years-old, but not significant for E. multilocularis infection [11, 20]” had been given incorrectly as “As to the age bias, the infection burden of E. granulosus could be significantly higher in dogs over five years-old, but not significant for E. multilocularis infection [11, 20]”.
These errors have now been published in the original article.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
