Abstract

**Corrigendum to:** Bez Birolo A, Tosatti M, Carvalho Junior OdeO, Haddout A (2026) Otters as bioindicators of estuarine health: Scientific gaps, field-based insights, and a framework for future research. Estuarine Management and Technologies 3: 65–78. https://doi.org/10.3897/emt.3.185117
**Title:** Correction of pathogen prevalence citation in 'Otters as bioindicators of estuarine health'
**Authors:** Alessandra Bez Birolo¹, Marcelo Tosatti¹, Oldemar de Oliveira Carvalho Junior¹*, Assiya Haddout² ¹ Instituto Ekko Brasil, Florianópolis/SC, Brazil ² Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra, Morocco *Corresponding author: ocjunior@ekkobrasil.org.br
**Text of the corrigendum:**
On page 68, in the section 'Pathogen exposure and spillover dynamics', the citation (Carvalho-Junior et al. 2025) accompanying the prevalence values for *Toxoplasma gondii* (66%) and canine distemper virus (83%) in *Lontra longicaudis* at Taim Ecological Station should read (Gonchoroski et al. 2025).
**Correct reference:** Gonchoroski GZ, Reck J, Mello LS, Silveira VP, Lunge VR, Leuchtenberger C, Freitas TRO (2025) Exposure of free-living *Lontra longicaudis* to domestic carnivores and their associated pathogens in a protected area in Brazil. *Frontiers in Mammal Science* 4: 1634247. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmamm.2025.1634247

**Impact statement:** This correction does not affect the scientific conclusions, framework, or recommendations of the original article. It solely addresses proper attribution of empirical data.
