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.

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.

Surveys on Baylisascaris procyonis in two of the three French wild raccoon populations [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Human infection by Baylisascaris procyonis can result in larva migrans syndromes, which can cause severe neurological sequelae and fatal cases. The raccoon serves as the definitive host of the nematode, harboring adult worms in its intestine and ...

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.
