The mitochondrial genome of Baylisascaris procyonis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Baylisascaris procyonis (Nematoda: Ascaridida), an intestinal nematode of raccoons, is emerging as an important helminthic zoonosis due to serious or fatal larval migrans in animals and humans.

Baylisascaris procyonis in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Baylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm responsible for fatal larva migrans in humans, has long been thought to be absent from many regions in the southeastern United States.

Viability of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Infection with Baylisascaris procyonis roundworms is rare but often fatal and typically affects children. We attempted to determine parameters of viability and methods of inactivating the eggs of these roundworms.

Experimental infection with Baylisascaris potosis in chickens [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2020
The larvae of the genus Baylisascaris can cause larva migrans in mammals and birds. This study investigated the larval migration of Baylisascaris potosis, the roundworm of kinkajou (Potos flavus), in chickens and the associated clinical manifestations of

Baylisascaris procyonis: An Emerging Helminthic Zoonosis [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm infection of raccoons, is emerging as an important helminthic zoonosis, principally affecting young children. Raccoons have increasingly become peridomestic animals living in close proximity to human residences.

Molecular phylogenetics and species-level systematics of Baylisascaris

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
Nucleotide sequences representing nine genes and five presumptive genetic loci were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among seven Baylisascaris species, including one species with no previously available molecular data.

Protein phosphorylation networks in Baylisascaris procyonis revealed by phosphoproteomic analysis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Baylisascaris procyonis is an intestinal ascarid worm that parasitizes in raccoons and causes fatal neural, visceral, and ocular larva migrans in humans.

Environmental modulators on the development of the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis): Effects of temperature on the embryogenesis [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Members of the Ascarididae family are common zoonotic pathogens in humans and play an economic role in domestic and livestock animal husbandry. This family includes the obligatorily parasitic nematodes of the genus Baylisascaris, with the raccoon ...

Baylisascaris procyonis in California

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
To the Editor: We read with interest the article of Roussere et al. on the distribution of Baylisascaris procyonis eggs in northern California communities (1). The widespread dissemination and high density of raccoon latrines in residential areas clearly pose potential health risks, particularly to young children.
