Correction of: “Alexandra Bishop,Jennifer Borski,Hsiao-Hsuan Wang,Taylor G. Donaldson,Avery Michalk,Annie Montgomery,Samantha Heldman,Michael Mogg,Zakary Derouen,William E. Grant,and Pete D. Teel. Increasing Incidence of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses in the United States,2010–2018. Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases . Sep 2022. 491–497.” doi: 10.1089/vbz.2022.0021

In this article, some errors were identified after the review process: 1.

In Abstract on page 491, two sentences read as the following: “The average national incidence of total cases, both probable and confirmed, was 12.77 cases per million persons per year. The highest statewide incidence was in Arkansas, with 256.84 per million per year, whereas the lowest incidence occurred in California, with 0.32 per million per year (note that spotted fevers were not notifiable in Hawaii and Alaska).”

Correction to this sentence as follows: “The average national incidence of total cases, both probable and confirmed, was 12.82 cases per million persons per year. The state with the largest number of cases was Arkansas, with 6,850 reported cases of spotted fevers from 2010 to 2018 (note that spotted fevers were not notifiable in Hawaii and Alaska).” 2.

In Results and Discussion on page 492, one sentence reads as the following: “The annual national incidence followed a similar trend as the annual reported cases, increasing from 6 in 2010 to ∼19 in 2017, with a mean of 12.77 for the 9-year period.”

Instead, it should read: “The annual national incidence followed a similar trend as the annual reported cases, increasing from 6 in 2010 to ∼19 in 2017, with a mean of 12.82 for the 9-year period.” 3.

In Results and Discussion on page 493, one sentence reads as the following: “Demographic profiles of cases of spotted fevers indicated that males comprised 52.03% of the reported cases, females comprised 47.71%, and gender of the remaining 0.26% was unknown (Table 1).”

Corrections to this sentence as follows: “Demographic profiles of cases of spotted fevers indicated that males comprised 65.38% of the reported cases, females comprised 34.36%, and gender of the remaining 0.26% was unknown (Table 1).” 4.

On page 493, the Sex of Table 1 reads as the following:

OPEN IN VIEWER

Variable	Category	No. of cases	IRs
Sex	Male	19,059	13.5
	Female	17,478	12.2
	Unknown	95	—

OPEN IN VIEWER

Variable	Category	No. of cases	Incidence
Sex	Male	23,950	17.02
	Female	12,587	8.67
	Unknown	95	—

Instead, it should read: 1.

On page 493, the footnote of Table 1 reads as the following: “Incidence defined as the number of infections per million persons per year, based on cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and population data reported by the Population Estimates Program, United States Census Bureau.”

Correction to this sentence should include: “The number of incident cases is from the Nationally Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, and cases per million persons at risk (Incidence) are calculated based on data from the Nationally Notifiable Disease Surveillance System.”
