Correction to: First description of Echinococcus ortleppi infection in China.

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in Table 2.

Correction to: Parasites Vectors (2019) 12:398 10.1186/s13071-019-3653-y

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in Table 2.

Namely, in the ‘America’ section of the table the species ‘Crested Porcupine’ is matched with the country ‘Brazil’.

However, it should be matched with ‘Bosnia and Herzegovina’ (and so be placed in the ‘Europe’ section).

The corrected Table 2 is given in this erratum.
