This Article contains an error in the Figure legends of Figure 6 and Figure 7. The legends of these Figures were inadvertently switched.
The legend of Figure 6:
“Rickettsia rickettsii antibody titres (IFA) after multiple infections with R. rickettsii (strain ITU) via tick exposures, in capybaras no. 1, 4 and 5. Dashed arrows indicate 2nd, 3rd and 4th infection of capybara no. 1 at 120, 248 and 475 days post primary infection (DPI), respectively. Straight arrow indicates 2nd infection of capybaras no. 4 and 5, 227 DPI. This figure has been published within the Doctoral Thesis of the first author (A. Ramírez-Hernández), which is available at the University of São Paulo’s digital library of Theses and Dissertations: https://teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/10/10134/tde-09092019-112817/en.php.”
should read:
“Hematological variables evaluated in capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) according to days post primary infection (DPI) with Rickettsia rickettsii (strain Itu) via tick exposure. Capybara numbers 1 (X), 3 (control) (Δ), 2 (+), 3 (◯), 4 (◇) and 5 (□). This figure has been published within the Doctoral Thesis of the first author (A. Ramírez-Hernández), which is available at the University of São Paulo’s digital library of Theses and Dissertations: https://teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/10/10134/tde-09092019-112817/en.php.”
The legend of Figure 7:
