In our recently published short report discussing `Molecular evidence of Rickettsia felis infection in dogs from Northern Territory, Australia�� (Hii et al. Parasit Vectors 2011, 4: 198), the sterilization programme being performed on indigenous community dogs was mistakenly stated to be facilitated by the Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities (AMRRIC) organisation in the indigenous community of Maningrida, Northern Territory (NT).
This sterilization programme was instead undertaken by a private veterinarian, Dr. Ted Donelan, who is also the president of AMRRIC. The relevant sentence should therefore have read ��Blood samples were collected from 130 dogs undergoing sterilisation procedures as part of the Dog Health Program conducted by a veterinarian, Dr. Ted Donelan in the indigenous community of Maningrida, NT.��.
We apologize for the error and any confusion this may have caused.
