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.

Reducing Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworm Larvae in Raccoon Latrines
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 Baylisascaris procyonis roundworms, a parasite of raccoons, can infect humans, sometimes fatally. Parasite eggs can remain viable in raccoon latrines for years. To develop a management technique for parasite eggs, we tested anthelmintic baiting.

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.

Zoonotic Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworms in Raccoons, China
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: Baylisascaris procyonis, an intestinal roundworm that infects raccoons (Procyon lotor), causes fatal or severe neural larva migrans in animals and humans (1,2). Globally, ≈130 species of wild and domesticated animals are susceptible (2). Infections in humans typically occur in children who have the disorders pica or geophagia and ingest ...

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
