Following an internal audit conducted after post-publication quality concerns were raised, the Editorial Office identified citation inconsistencies in the above article. The authors reviewed the identified issues and confirmed the required corrections. These corrections do not affect the scientific content, interpretations, or conclusions of the review article.

Reference corrections

• Ref. [1] The Editorial Office identified a potential mismatch between the cited source and the statement it was used to support. Following verification by the authors, it was confirmed that the current reference (Anteneh et al., 2024) appropriately supports the statement; therefore, no correction is required for Ref. [1].
• Ref. [26] Removed from the reference list. The reference was cited in support of the statement regarding sequencing of the Plasmodium falciparum genome; however, the cited article does not correspond to this context. The authors confirmed that this reference originated from a section removed during manuscript revision and is no longer applicable to the published version.
• Ref. [68] Removed from the reference list. The reference was cited in relation to malaria vaccine enhancement strategies; however, the cited article concerns a different research topic and originated from a section removed during manuscript revision. The authors confirmed that the published text remains adequately supported by the corresponding supporting reference.

These corrections involve the removal of references that are not applicable to the final published version of the manuscript. The corrections do not affect the scientific content, discussions, interpretations, or conclusions of the article.
