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

open access: yesPest 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

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

LAND-USE EFFECTS ON PREVALENCE OF RACCOON ROUNDWORM (BAYLISASCARIS PROCYONIS) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008
The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is the definitive host of Baylisascaris procyonis, a large intestinal roundworm that is zoonotic and can result in fatal or severe central nervous system disease in young children. Prevalence of infection among raccoon populations often is high, and in the midwestern United States, B. procyonis has been reported in 68-82% of

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Migration of Baylisascaris procyonis into the vitreous [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006
Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) is a clinical syndrome first described by Gass and associates in 1978, characterised early by visual loss, vitritis, papillitis, and recurrent crops of grey-white retinal lesions and later by progressive visual loss, optic atrophy, retinal vessel narrowing, and diffuse retinal pigment epithelial ...
