Correction: Molecular epidemiology and risk factors of Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp. and Theileria spp. infection in cattle in Chongqing, China

In the Abstract, there are errors in the fifth and sixth sentences. The correct sentences are: The overall prevalence of Anaplasma spp., Theileria spp. and B. bigemina were 22.32%, 24.06% and 7.25%, respectively. Among these, the prevalence of A. bovis, A. central, A. phagocytophilum, A. platys, A. marginale, T. sinensisi and T. orientalis were 8.41%, 7.83%, 4.93%, 4.35%, 2.61%, 22.32% and 2.61%, respectively.

In the Prevalence of Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., and Theileria spp. Infection subsection of the Results, there are errors in the third sentence. The correct sentence is: The overall prevalence of Anaplasma spp., Theileria spp., and B. bigemina in cattle were 22.32% (77/345), 24.06% (83/345), and 7.25% (25/345), respectively. In the same paragraph, there are also errors in the fifth sentence. The correct sentence is: Among the Theileria spp., T. sinensisi and T. orientalis infections in cattle were 22.32% (77/345) and 2.61% (9/345), respectively.

There are errors in Tables 1 and 2. The publisher apologizes for the errors. Please see the correct Table 1 and Table 2 here.
