Correction: Multiple Sclerosis in the Mount Etna Region: Possible Role of Volcanogenic Trace Elements

  • The PLOS ONE Staff

The authors would like to include an Acknowledgements section in the article and thank Drs Claudia Cascio, Parvez Haris and Richard Jenkins from the De Montfort University, Leicester (UK), for their contribution in the generation of the original hypothesis on the possible link between the volcanogenic trace element and multiple sclerosis. The present epidemiological study has been developed from a previous collaborative research project (1-3).
