Correction to: Parasites Vectors (2021) 14:511 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-021-05026-4

Following publication of this article [1] it has come to our attention that the first author's affiliation is stated incorrectly. The correct affiliation for Ayman Ahmed is: Institute of Endemic Diseases, University of Khartoum, Khartoum 11111, Sudan. This has been corrected in the original article.

Concerning data availability, the authors wanted to take this opportunity to share the GenBank accession numbers of the Anopheles stephensi COI sequences generated in their study: MZ725449 and MZ725450.

Thank you for reading this correction.
