CORRECTION
Correction: Control, Elimination, and Eradication of River Blindness: Scenarios, Timelines, and Ivermectin Treatment Needs in Africa Young Eun Kim, Jan H. F. Remme, Peter Steinmann, Wilma A. Stolk, JeanBaptiste Roungou, Fabrizio Tediosi
There is an error in the antepenultimate sentence of the abstract. The number of treatments is incorrect. The correct sentence is: The control scenario requires community-directed treatment with ivermectin beyond 2045 with around 2.63 billion treatments over 2013–2045; the elimination scenario, until 2028 in areas where feasible, but beyond 2045 in countries with operational challenges, around 1.48 billion treatments; and the eradication scenario, lasting until 2040, around 1.30 billion treatments.
