The author regrets the inclusion of the following errors in the Introduction and References sections of the above article. The error in the Introduction is as follows:

The detection of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, in the city of Valencia (Spain) in 2021 marked a significant milestone (Galán-Puchades et al., 2022). However, the review conducted in the same year by Gonzálvez and Ruiz de Ybáñez (2022) did not report this finding.

This should be corrected to the following:

The detection of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the rat lungworm, in the city of Valencia (Spain) in 2021 marked a significant milestone (Galán-Puchades et al., 2022). However, a review conducted in 2021 by Gonzálvez and Ruiz de Ybáñez (2022) did not report this finding.
