Submission received: 14 June 2022 / Accepted: 14 June 2022 / Published: 30 June 2022
Versions Notes
There was an error in the original publication [1]. “In our multivariable analysis we first excluded the Logo health zone, Democratic Republic of Congo because of the recent decline in the Similium population. During the revision of our manuscript we decided to also exclude the Kodjo site, Central Africa Republic because the door-to-door survey was not well conducted due to the insecurity in the area.
During the compilation of the final version, the odds ratio after excluding Kodjo site were only updated in the Table 3 but not in the text under the results section therefore we requested the correction to update these odds ratio in the text”.
A correction has been made to “Results Section”, “Second Paragraph”:
Text before Correction:
The odds ratio reported in the following paragraph took Kodjo data into consideration. “A high epilepsy prevalence in the village was associated with a high Ov16 seropositivity (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.387, 95% CI: 1.294–1.487, p < 0.001). In contrast, a high ivermectin coverage in the village was associated with a low Ov16 seropositivity among children residing in that village (OR: 0.977, 95% CI: 0.969–0.984, p = 0.001)”.
The corrected:
“A high epilepsy prevalence in the village was associated with a high Ov16 seropositivity (Odds Ratio (OR): 1.288, 95% CI: 1.194–1.390, p < 0.001). In contrast, a high ivermectin coverage in the village was associated with a low Ov16 seropositivity among children residing in that village (OR: 0.961, 95% CI: 0.951–0.972, p = <0.001)”.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
