Parasites & Vectors volume 17, Article number: 405 (2024) Cite this article

The Original Article was published on 31 March 2022

Correction: Parasites & Vectors (2022) 15:112 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-021-05132-3

Following publication of the original article [1], it was pointed out that reference 325 was incorrect and linked to the wrong article. The correct reference is: Abassi R, Akhlaghi M, Oshaghi MA, Akhavan AA, Yaghoobi-Ershadi MR, et al. Dynamics and fitness cost of genetically engineered Enterobacter cloacae expressing defensin for paratransgenesis in Phlebotomus papatasi. J Bacteriol Parasitol. 2019;10:349. https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9597.1000349.

The reference has since been corrected in the original article.
