transmission-blocking vaccine

Erratum

After the publication of our paper [1], we realized that

the positions of the primers 2, 5 and 6 in Fig 4a were

in-correct due to shifting The in-corrected Fig 4 is included

below In addition, “Mosquitoes Infected/Dissected” in

Table 1 should read “Mosquitoes Dissected/Infected”.

We would like to apologise for these errors and for any

inconvenience this may have caused.
