The PLOS ONE editorial office was made aware that prior work by Prof. Amornrat Phongdara and colleagues on the role of fortilin/TCTP in response of the shrimp Penaeus monodon to viral infections were not cited in this article. After consulting with Academic Editors, the PLOS ONE staff editors believe that these articles should have been cited. These articles are:
