Zoonotic Baylisascaris procyonis Infection in Raccoons, Mississippi, USA, 2023–2024 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Baylisascaris procyonis, an emerging zoonotic parasite, causes clinically significant visceral, ophthalmologic, and neurologic disease in humans. We screened raccoons (n = 46) collected from central and southern Mississippi for B. procyonis by necropsy (

Morphology and ASAP analysis of the important zoonotic nematode parasite Baylisascaris procyonis (Stefahski and Zarnowski, 1951), with molecular phylogenetic relationships of Baylisascaris species (Nematoda: Ascaridida) [PDF]

Parasitology
Species of Baylisascaris (Nematoda: Ascarididae) are of great veterinary and zoonotic significance, owing to cause Baylisascariosis or Baylisascariasis in wildlife, captive animals and humans.

First record of Baylisascaris procyonis in the wild invasive Northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) in the Czech Republic [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Baylisascaris procyonis, a zoonotic nematode originated in North America, is a significant cause of larva migrans in humans and wildlife. Here we report the first confirmed record of B. procyonis in free-ranging invasive Northern raccoons (Procyon lotor)

Geographic Expansion of Baylisascaris procyonis Roundworms, Florida, USA [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To the Editor: Baylisascaris procyonis roundworms are common parasites of raccoons (Procyon lotor) in several regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. These parasites are increasingly recognized as a cause of larva migrans in humans, an infection that often results in severe neurologic sequelae or death.

Distribution and prevalence of Baylisascaris in domestic dogs in the United States and Canada, 2017–2023 [PDF]

One Health
Dogs can serve as alternative definitive hosts for Baylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm, but prevalence and geographic distribution of canine infections is poorly studied. In a previous study in the United States (US) from 2013 to 2016, 0.005 %

The conquest of the north continues: Baylisascaris procyonis in free-ranging invasive raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Germany, including a first report in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
With exception of the Northeast, the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is widespread in Germany. This zoonotic parasite can cause neurological disease in paratenic and aberrant hosts, like humans.

Cerebral baylisascariosis in a rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) in a German Zoo [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, can cause a meningoencephalitis as neural larva migrans which is known in avian species, including rainbow lorikeets in North America, but has not been described in Old World parrots in Germany ...
