In the Introduction section of this article, the sentence ‘in Africa, NTDs account for approximately 73% of the total burden of disease and 71% of deaths on the continent’ has been corrected, due to a misquote of reference 7, to ‘there were more than 2 billion prevalent NTD infections in 2013 globally, accounting for more than 25 million DALYs’. As such, the original reference 7 (Engels D, Savioli L. Reconsidering the underestimated burden caused by neglected tropical diseases. Trends Parasitol 2006;22(8):363–6) has been removed and has been replaced by the following: Herricks JR, Hotez PJ, Wanga V et al. The global burden of disease study 2013: what does it mean for the NTDs? PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2017;11(8):e0005424.
The authors would like to apologize for the error, which has been corrected online.
