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.

Reducing Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworm Larvae in Raccoon Latrines [PDF]

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: 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.

Baylisascaris procyonis Parasites in Raccoons, Costa Rica, 2014 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
To the Editor: Baylisascaris procyonis (Ascaridoidea: Ascarididae) parasites are facultatively heteroxenous nematodes that are widely distributed in the United States and Canada, where prevalence rates reach 70%–90%. They colonize the small intestine of their final host, the northern raccoon (Procyon lotor), whose feces can contain up to 25 × 103 eggs ...

Reduction of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs in Raccoon Latrines, Suburban Chicago, Illinois, USA [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Baylisascaris procyonis, a common roundworm of raccoons, causes severe or fatal human infections, often in suburban areas. To evaluate the effectiveness of a baiting strategy requiring minimal labor, we distributed medicated baits near raccoon latrines ...

Full Recovery from Baylisascaris procyonis Eosinophilic Meningitis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Infection by Baylisascaris procyonis is an uncommon but devastating cause of eosinophilic meningitis. We report the first case-patient, to our knowledge, who recovered from B. procyonis eosinophilic meningitis without any recognizable neurologic deficits.

Viability of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs [PDF]

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.
