Molecular phylogenetics and species-level systematics of Baylisascaris

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
Nucleotide sequences representing nine genes and five presumptive genetic loci were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among seven Baylisascaris species, including one species with no previously available molecular data.

Behavioral Selection of Coprophagy in an Arid‐Adapted Herbivore: Does a Compatibility–Risk Gradient Shape Selective Coprophagy?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Estimated amount of each scat type consumed by Texas tortoises (Gopherus berlandieri) during 48‐h feeding trials expressed as area under the cumulative‐consumption curve (AUC; ±95% CI). Coprophagy is prevalent in Texas tortoises, and tortoises selectively choose feces along a compatibility‐risk gradient, which is evolutionarily meaningful.

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Zoonosis Caused by Baylisascaris procyonis

, 2012
The raccoon roundworm, Baylisascaris procyonis, is classified under the Phylum Nemathelminthes (the roundworms) and Class Nematoda. It is a member of Family Ascaridae and Superfamily Ascaridoidea, which represents intestinal worms with direct life cycles. Other, more familiar ascarids are Ascaris lumbricoides,Toxocara canis, and Toxocara cati, nematode

Economic incentives contribute little to reducing agricultural damage from invasive non‐native species: evidence from raccoon management in Hokkaido, Japan

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2588-2594, March 2026.
This study reveals the nonsignificant effects of economic incentives reducing crop damage by raccoons. Our results also show that while these incentives increase the number of captured raccoons, the additional captures fail to result in measurable reductions in agricultural damage. Abstract BACKGROUND An economic incentive scheme is utilized to enhance

Helminths in Invasive Raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Southwest Germany

Pathogens, 2023
As hosts of numerous zoonotic pathogens, the role of raccoons needs to be considered in the One Health context. Raccoons progressively expand their range as invasive alien species in Europe.

Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm infection patterns in raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Missouri and Arkansas, USA

Helminthologia, 2017
Baylisascaris procyonis is a helminth parasite of raccoons Procyon lotor and represents a health concern in paratenic hosts, including humans and diverse domestic and wildlife species. In North America the helminth is expanding its geographic range.

Human landscape alterations and land cover heterogeneity influence northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) site use intensity

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Northern raccoons (Procyon lotor; hereafter raccoon) are a widely distributed mesocarnivore that is common throughout North and Central America. Already the source of many human–wildlife conflicts, recent range expansions and abundance increases may cause additional management issues.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.
