Correction to: Current Tropical Medicine Reports
The originally published version of this article contained mistakes and the authors would like to correct them.
The authors wish to apologize for an error presented in this article. This study erroneously included Zanzibar, Tanzania, as a location where the mosquito Anopheles stephensi has been previously detected. At the time of publication, there was no evidence that this species has been detected in this location. This error occurs in the following passages and should be disregarded by the reader: Figure 1, Zanzibar should not be included on the map; Table 1, the last row of this table includes Zanzibar and should be disregarded; the following sentence within the “Knowledge Gaps” section, “Recent reports of An. stephensi from Ghana, Eritrea, and Zanzibar were reported during a 2023 World Health Organization regional meeting but have yet to publish surveillance data in peer-reviewed journals [12].” Zanzibar should be disregarded in this statement; the notation for reference number 12 reads, “This publication reports the initial discovery of Anopheles stephensi collected from Eritrea Ghana and Zanzibar; this is not a peer-reviewed study.” Zanzibar should be disregarded in this statement.
We apologize for the confusion this error may have caused and continue to encourage widespread surveillance for this species across Africa.
The original article has been corrected.
