This Article contains an error in the Materials and Methods section under subheading ‘Criteria for selection of specific Volatile Odor Chemicals (VOCs) from Ae. Aegypti’ where,

“To identify VOCs that could correspond to specific-specific signatures”

should read:

“To identify VOCs that could correspond to species-specific signatures”.

Additionally, there is an error in the caption for Figure 1 where,

“Sex and tissue comparison analysis of odor chemicals in hexane extracts from sexually mature adults in the Dengue fever mosquito, Ae. aegypti”

should read:

“Sex and tissue comparison analysis of odor chemicals in hexane extracts from sexually mature adults in the dengue fever mosquito, Ae. aegypti”.

In the Results section, under the subheading ‘Chemical analysis of sensory and non-sensory tissues’,

“Except for C18H34O2 which was absent from abdominal samples, the chemical composition of the abdomen was very similar to that of the thorax in the Dengue fever mosquito Ae. aegypti

should read:

“Except for C18H34O2 which was absent from abdominal samples, the chemical composition of the abdomen was very similar to that of the thorax in the dengue fever mosquito Ae. aegypti”,

and under the subheading ‘Chemical analysis of all developmental stages from eggs to young adults’,

“essential for the odor distinction in between the late instar larvae and nymphs in the primary vector of Dengue fever, Ae. aegypti

should read:

“essential for the odor distinction in between the late instar larvae and nymphs in the primary vector of dengue fever, Ae. aegypti”.
