Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny-Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Roundworm nematodes are globally distributed zoonotic parasites that inhabit the intestinal tract of various mammals. Although these parasites reside in the host’s guts, their own intestinal ecosystems remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that helminths may harbor distinct gut microbiomes that contribute to their physiology and host ...

Baylisascaris procyonis in California

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
To the Editor: We read with interest the article of Roussere et al. on the distribution of Baylisascaris procyonis eggs in northern California communities (1). The widespread dissemination and high density of raccoon latrines in residential areas clearly pose potential health risks, particularly to young children.

Thermal Death Point of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
To the Editor: In the past 20 years, Baylisascaris procyonis, the common intestinal roundworm of raccoons, has increasingly been recognized as a source of severe human neurologic disease that particularly affects children (1,2). Although human baylisascariasis appears to be rare, the devastating neurologic disease caused by this infection and the lack ...

Parasites and the conservation of small populations: The case of Baylisascaris procyonis. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl, 2013
Human demands on natural resources result in landscape changes that facilitate the emergence of disease. Most emerging diseases are zoonotic, and some of these pathogens play a role in the decline of vulnerable wildlife species. Baylisascaris procyonis, the common roundworm parasite of raccoons (Procyon lotor), is a well recognized zoonotic infection ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
