In this article I erroneously implied that trypanosomatids flourish in the sap of lemon trees. Trypanosomatid parasites multiply in the latex of plants such as Euphorbia, and in the phloem of palms and coffee plants. Trypanosomatids of citrus (oranges) have only been found within the fruit, not in other parts of the plant. I thank M.Dollet (CIRAD, Montpelier, France) for pointing out my mistake.
