Abstract

In the original article, there was an error in the specific part of the code implementing migration between the global pool and the local population. This resulted in nomigration after the initialization of the local population of parasites in the first 30 days. Thus, the simulations apply to a closed systemand not to an open one with a regional intervention. The authors have corrected the description and discussion of the migration assumptions in the text (in sentences across four paragraphs), and in the diagrams of Figures 1A,B. The results apply to intervention in a closed population as now specified in the corrected text and Figure. The corrected Figure 1 and legend appear below.
