Correction: Outbreak of Avian Malaria Associated to Multiple Species of Plasmodium in Magellanic Penguins Undergoing Rehabilitation in Southern Brazil

(2014), later analyses revealed that the blood sample of a tropical screech owl (Megascops choliba) that had been analyzed 4 weeks earlier at the same laboratory yielded a Haemoproteus sp. cyt-b sequence that was 100% identical to that obtained for penguin 586.
