Baylisascaris procyonis Infection in a Moluccan Cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis)

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2007
An adult female Moluccan cockatoo (Cacatua moluccensis) was evaluated for a 10-day history of progressive ataxia and weakness. The bird had been exposed intermittently over a 3-day period to a cage that had previously housed juvenile raccoons. Results of diagnostic tests were inconclusive and, despite supportive care, the bird died 7 days after the ...

Experimental infection of domestic swine with Baylisascaris procyonis from raccoons

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1984
SUMMARY Six 8-week-old ascarid-naive pigs which were experimentally infected with 72,000 embryonated Baylisascaris procyonis eggs of raccoon origin developed lesions limited to the intestines and liver. Intestinal lesions consisted of multifocal areas of inflammation by macrophages, eosinophils, and lymphocytes in the mucosa and submucosa, in ...

Baylisascaris Procyonis Exposure Case Study.

The West Virginia medical journal, 2018
We report a case of exposure to raccoon feces found to be contaminated with baylisascaris procyonis. The exposure was recognized early enough by the family to allow prophylaxis with albendazole. Because of the potential fatal or neurologically catastrophic effects of this disease immediate treatment is indicated.

Scanning electron microscopic observations of adult Baylisascaris procyonis (nematoda)

International Journal for Parasitology, 1989
The scanning electron microscope was used to illustrate the microtopographic features of the caudal end of adult male Baylisascaris procyonis. The male tail was relatively long, smoothly attenuated and often had a small button-like or mucronate termination.

Neural larva migrans caused by the raccoon roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2002
Baylisascaris procyonis, the common raccoon roundworm, is a rare cause of devastating or fatal neural larva migrans in infants and young children. We describe the clinical features of two children from suburban Chicago who developed severe, nonfatal B. procyonis neural larva migrans.

Treatment of Baylisascaris procyonis infections in dogs with milbemycin oxime

Veterinary Parasitology, 2005
An examination was made as to the ability of Sentinel Flavor Tabs (milbemycin oxime/lufenuron) to treat Baylisascaris procyonis infections in dogs. The study was designed as a critical trial and included five naturally infected dogs and two dogs that were experimentally infected.

The Relationship of Baylisascaris procyonis to Illinois Raccoons (Procyon lotor)

The Journal of Parasitology, 1985
The gastrointestinal tracts of 310 steel-trapped or hunter shot Illinois raccoons (Procyon lotor) were collected in November and December 1979 and 1980 and examined for the presence of Baylisascaris procyonis (Nematoda) in order to determine the prevalence and intensity of this ascarid and to note any differences with respect to host age and sex.

Fatal cerebrospinal disease caused by Baylisascaris procyonis in domestic rabbits

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1983
Summary Infection with Baylisascaris procyonis, the common roundworm of raccoons, was found to be the cause of an epizootic of fatal cnsdisease in domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Clinical signs included torticollis, ataxia, tremors, and falling.

The Relationship Between Baylisascaris procyonis Prevalence and Raccoon Population Structure

Journal of Parasitology, 2009
Parasite transmission is a dynamic process that can be affected by factors including host and parasite population dynamics. Raccoons ( Procyon lotor ) are the definitive host of Baylisascaris procyonis , an intestinal roundworm. Transmission of this parasite has been linked to raccoon behavior and human land-use patterns; however, we do not know the ...

Pcr Assays for Detection of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs and Larvae

Journal of Parasitology, 2009
The objective of this study was to develop polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for detection of Baylisascaris procyonis eggs and larvae in fecal, environmental, and tissue samples. We have optimized conventional and real-time PCR assays for B. procyonis using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 2 gene as the target for amplification.
