The word “praziquantel” is misspelled in the article title, as well as in the Abstract, Background, Tables 1, 3 and 4 caption, Results and Conclusion. In all of these cases, “prazequantel” should be “praziquantel”. The correct title is: Efficacy and safety of praziquantel for the treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infection across different transmission settings in Amhara Regional State, northwest Ethiopia. The correct citation is: Alemu G, Amor A, Nibret E, Munshea A, Anegagrie M (2024) Efficacy and safety of praziquantel for the treatment of Schistosoma mansoni infection across different transmission settings in Amhara Regional State, northwest Ethiopia.
