Abstract
In the original publication of this article [1], the author noticed the errors in equation, Fig. 2 and Acknowledgments section. The corrections are listed below: Incorrect equation: Reductionrate (%) = Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml − Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml) /tachyzoite countofcontrol infected/ml) × 100. Correct equation: Reduction rate (%) = [(Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml−Tachyzoite count of treated group/ml)/Tachyzoite count of control infected group/ml]×100 In Funding section, the project number relating to National Research Centre given for Eman E. El Shanawany was incorrectly given as 1310125 and should have been 13010125. In Fig. 2, part of the image overlaps with the caption of the figure. The correct image and caption are given below: (Figure presented.) a Kaplan–Meier overall survival curve for the studied groups. b Liver impression smears from tested groups. c Rectal body temperature of the mice following during the experiment period. II: Control negative (non-infected non-vaccinated group). (Ia) control positive (Infected non-vaccinated group). Ib: Control group that received adjuvant complete and incomplete. Ic: Mice vaccinated with prepared live attenuated vaccine. Id: Mice vaccinated with the dead-prepared vaccine. (Figure presented.) Free tachyzoites (Figure presented.) Macrophages. Data are presented as means ± standard error © The Author(s) 2025.
