The authors apologise for an error in the manuscript: on page 1096, it was stated that most cases of angiostrongyliasis reported by Hochberg and colleagues (Hochberg et al., 2007, 2011) occurred in Honolulu, on the main island of Hawaii (Barratt et al., Reference Barratt, Chan, Sandaradura, Malik, Spielman, Lee, Marriott, Harkness, Ellis and Stark2016). This is incorrect. The sentence should state that the highest incidence of cases reported by Hochberg and colleagues occurred on the island of Hawaii, which is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii state capital of Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu, which is the most populous and third largest Hawaiian Island.

We gratefully acknowledge Kirsten Snook (University of Hawaii at Hilo) and Dr Sarah Park (Hawaii Department of Health) who notified us independently of this error.
