Excerpt

After publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors’ attention that the primers mentioned in Table 1 for the amplification of the pvcrt-o gene of Plasmodium vivax are not the ones actually used for the experiments. The correct primers and PCR product size are as below:

Primers used for amplifications of pvcrt-o and pvmdr-1 marker genes
