Serology survey of Ascaris suum and Trichinella spiralis in rural pigs in Southwestern Mexico

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 4, July 2024.
● In Mexico, the Ascaris suum prevalence oscillates between 8% and 60%, whereas the prevalence of T. spiralis ranges between 2% and 5%, but there is no certainty about its circulation throughout the country. ● Seroprevalences of 5.12% for A. suum and 2.41% for T.

The influence of increased contact rate among raccoons on a directly transmitted nematode, Baylisascaris procyonis [abstract] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
only availableHuman encroachment on wildlife habitat can result in anthropogenic food sources that aggregate raccoons. This may have unintended consequences to wildlife and human health, as theoretical models predict parasite transmission is highly ...

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.

Zoonotic bacterial and parasitic intestinal pathogens in foxes, raccoons and other predators from eastern Germany

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2024.
Our study involved the examination of faecal samples from wild predators in eastern Germany to identify parasitic and bacterial pathogens. In our investigation, we found Baylisascaris procyonis in raccoons, a parasite known to cause a potentially lethal disease in humans.

Ecological effects of a declining red wolf population

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 396-407, June 2024.
Abstract Carnivores, especially wolves (Canis sp.), have profound impacts on their ecosystems, affecting the abundance and behavior of prey and competitors, but this has not been examined in detail for red wolves (C. rufus). We studied a population of red wolves that was reintroduced to eastern North Carolina in 1987 and initially thrived, peaking at ...

Parthenogenomics: Insights on mutation rates and nucleotide diversity in parthenogenetic Panagrolaimus nematodes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
We found asexual Panagrolaimid nematodes defy expectations of asexuality, they display a higher nucleotide diversity than that of sexual counterparts. This, accompanied by a lower mutation rate could explain the persistence of this asexual lineage.

A Child with Raccoon Roundworm Meningoencephalitis: A Pathogen Emerging in your Own Backyard?

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2009
Raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is a cause of devastating neural and ocular disease. The first documented case of raccoon roundworm encephalitis in Canada, in a seven-year-old boy who presented with severe neurological impairment, is ...

The influence of increased contact rate among raccoons on a nematode of public, and wildlife health concern, Baylisascar [abstract] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
only availableNatural and anthropogenic fluctuations in resource availability can alter the behavioral ecology and population dynamics of wildlife. This may have unintended consequences to wildlife disease ecology, as theoretical models predict parasite ...
